The James Webb Space Telescope has been shipped to its launch site in French Guiana. Now it needs to be checked again before it can be put on a rocket for launch.
As a note, I'm starting to get more and more in favor of a name change, but I don't have anything good to call it instead. Webb was apparently an asshole and homophobic. We need a nickname for this thing. Or maybe I can find the official designation under the name somewhere...
Either way, we might finally get this thing launched and on its way to L2...and we're going to do a heck of a lot of science.
