The $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope will be launching on xmas day. The most expensive launch ever.
Clicky
I bet there'll be some twitchy backsides in the control room when it launches. ____________________ Current bike: Honda ST1100 |

The first sunshield membrane has been successfully tensioned.
2 & 3 tomorrow and then 4 & 5 on Wednesday. The same motors tension all of the membranes so things should hopefully go well. |
