After the Hubble - The James Webb Telescope

But like any proud parent, Decker had to do a little bragging: "The images that we will see will be very much like the Hubble images, only better," he said.

When the pieces are put together, Webb's primary mirror will be 6.5 meters wide, about three times the size of Hubble's.

A political system controlled by an ignorant electorate that is manipulated by a dishonest and controlled media that dispenses propaganda on behalf of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be the path to lasting prosperity.
