Why didn't they just build another Hubble, bigger and better, but serviceable robotically with replaceable batteries and reaction wheels or something? How big a telescope can one fit inside a Atlas V or Falcon Heavy anyway? Surely something Hubble-sized would fit, right? I keep wondering if the fact that the JWST was to be launched on a Ariane V is playing any part in it maybe getting axed? Ah, but now that Elon Musk and SpaceX have announced Falcon Heavy, and, ostensibly it has even more lifting capacity than Ariane V: http://www.spacex.com/falcon_heavy.php ("Please disregard the different heights and inclinations within the table." ...as in "Disregard that man behind the curtain") NASA and Congress could double-down and launch *two* JWSTs?-) rick jones -- firebug n, the idiot who tosses a lit cigarette out his car window these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... ![]() feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... |
