Re: James Webb Space Telescope to be Axed Posted on: Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:48 pm I have read the same thing today (think it was @ parabolicarc) and I was pretty shocked.
I know the JWST is WAY over budget and behind schedule, but I think canceling the project would be a grave mistake. Any chance ESA and CSA would continue the project alone? _________________ pride comes before a fall |
