This POS has already cost $3.5 billion and is slated to cost *at least*
$6.5 billion before it gets off the ground and I wouldn't be surprised
that it heads towards $10 billion before it gets axed. It needs to be
killed now before it eats up NASA's entire budget. This thing is a
black hole

That $3.5 billion spent has resulted in no more than a full-size
mockup, a few mirrors and the sunshield (basically a foldable tent).
Why oh why didn't they just build another Hubble-clone for a couple
hundred million or maybe even $1 billion?!! I'd rather see NASA spent
all this cash handing it over to the commercial companies like SpaceX
and Sierra Nevada so we can get people back up into space. Smaller
science missions are also being jeapordized because of JWST.

Worst of all is that NASA simply does not want to name the estimated
cost of JWST for fear of being punished.

Plus NASA has that mars rover with a failed RTG.

To sum it up NASA is out of the launching astronaut business

NASA has failed to bring JWST in anywhere near budget or schedule

NASA has failed to bring the new mars rover / science station anywhere
near budget or on time.

NASA is about as dysfunctional as congress.

Wonder what will go wrong about ISS?

perhaps someone will ask about all the earth shaking science ISS has
failed to produce?

lets make it easier please name something NASA is doing well other
than spending money?
