Ridiculous imagery in a fraction of the time that Hubble managed.
And this was the ridiculous bit
Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the groundwhat the actual fuck!

@NTA it's really cool. But SpaceX are showing how expensive this low risk appraoch is. If Starship was allowed to be launched, there would probably be literal tons of gear in orbit by now, and heading off to the moon.
Reusable rockets have reset space expectations, in a great way.

Fund the right states.
Avoid failure at all costs (even though that throws time and ironically risk into the programme) -
