I celebrate when I see first images come out. Feels premature to now say that it is going to work. How long did it take until we noticed and understood the flaws of Hubble?
That's an overly negative comment for a project that yourself said learned from Hubble mistakes. They are exactly trying to avoid Hubble mistakes by being able to correct mirrors in absurd units, and much more. I get the idea that failure levels are so high that "everyone" get a drug shot from them. I just expected better. Hope, if you wanna call it in some way, with evidence that indicates that things are going good.
JWST is awesome, and I'm hoping the best success for it. My negativity was aimed at the article jinxing it
