New planet-hunting tool chases after star system's little brown dwarf

8. My fingers are crossed on that mission.

JWST is a huge project, but a risky one. If it gets to the Lagrange point and gets into service that will be quite an accomplishment.

As far as human occupied missions go, I am for them. But then again, I grew up in the 1950's so seeing it all happen for the first time sticks firmly into my brain. I cannot let that go. Nor will I.

I am unequivocally for manned space exploration. If we had not abandoned it we possibly could have already built a moon base. Instead, we fought wars and built an unsafe low earth orbit system. I know that this may be hyperbole, but I cannot let go thoughts on what might have been. I know, it is romance. But sometimes it takes dreams to excel.

Like Apollo. There was nothing like it in human history. Nothing ever like it. It is what inspires people to go further. I feel we have forgotten that. That is sad.

So I respectfully disagree with you on that issue.
