I'll be watching to see if Webb's various platforms deploy and begin operating per their design---that's one risky spacecraft I must say.

I like space stuff. Seems like thousands of ways it can go wrong, and I'm always really impressed when it doesn't. The Mars rovers have been some of mankind's most amazing technological achievements to date, and this Webb space telescope is amazingly impressive.
