I admit that I was damned surprised that the JWT launched and deployed correctly, but I am glad it did. It's helping usher in a new wave of data, and helping to remind people that science is as much finding out how you're wrong as it is finding out if you're right. Once LISA comes on board, we'll have nice new toys to explore the past with. > that shouldn’t exist Articles should be more careful. It isn't that much longer to say "that aren't predicted by current models".

Not at all. Astrophysics is one of those dogma heavy fields. We have such a limited set of observations on what is such a large space. Every data point we collect will be from within the solar system. Given this, the mainstream astrophysicists should be humble and open to better models. They are not. https://youtu.be/Fqfap3v0xxw https://youtu.be/Fqfap3v0xxw

> Once LISA comes on board For those like me who don't know what LISA is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Interferometer_Space_Antenna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Interferometer_Space_Ant... Seems like an amazing project
