    This is a reminder that the God of all creation cares about what you do with your winky.
    Whoa. So the universe is only 99.999999999% empty space after all? Did not see that one coming!
    If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

      That project is really amazing, if you are an astrophysicist. The amount of data they have gathered is staggering, so if you have something anywhere in the area that they looked at, there's a very different view of it.

      Add that to some of the other data gathering projects around the world- there's more than enough data for many, many papers and PhD's for probably over a decade.

            James Webb mirrors are aligned and shaped- https://webb.nasa.gov/content/webbLa...ereIsWebb.html

            You can see a lot of galaxies in the alignment evaluation picture https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/f...ge_labeled.png

                Hey Kep

                Still have your Dad's lunar lander files? It appears Northrup/Grumman is thinking of going at it alone:

                Northrop Grumman's Rick Mastracchio says the company has done work on its own for the lunar lander in addition to working with Blue Origin. It's now deciding which way to go. "Hopefully, that will be a decision that comes out in the next few weeks."

                    Oh, we gotta land on this guy. Put an observatory on it and give it 5G.

                    It's 80 miles wide and it's in an orbit that swings out to 1.5 lightyears from the sun.
