Congress appears to have preserved funding for the James Webb Space
Telescope. Last night lawmakers from both the House of Representatives
and the Senate issued a final spending bill for NASA and several other
federal agencies that "accommodates cost growth" for the $8.7 billion
telescope. Details are expected later today. But that language is seen
as affirming the Senate's support for the embattled telescope after the
House has eliminated its funding.

Good news!
