http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n...wst/index.html 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? |
