Hubble/Webb may be one of the only things I think the government has ever wisely invested in.

I agree, and would include the entire space exploration budget.

Really looking forward to some shots from what some have said is twice the distance we may have seen before. 

Anyone heard how long it will take to get it on line and giving pics and data?  In 5 years, I am willing to bet our understanding of the universe is going to look a lot different that it is today.

Do remember the glitches with the initial Hubble deployment.  If I remember right, we had an STS mission just to repair/replace the lenses and /or mirrors.

@catfish1957

Frankly,I am amazed when ANYTHING goes right. There are literally thousands of little things that can go wrong and kill a mission. Some of them are things like tiny little transistors that only cost pennies.

These engineers and mechanics have my utmost respect.

I remember as well, however, the bad part about this, if this sucker doesn't go right that is $10 Billion down the toilet.
