Will be interesting to see what they find, when they start looking for planets.

Runs for the hills.
Seems to remember reading that their was a project to map a 50 or 100 light year bubble around earth, to see if their were any habitable planets.

Saw this image the other day, one thing I didn't was that its close to 1mil miles away from earth, unlike the Hubble which is in orbit basically. Well if this telescope can produce we should start seeing some great images soon. Hard to believe the Hubble still up there taking pics and they say it could last another 8-15yrs up there..... we need to build equipment made to last again

that James Webb telescope cost like 10bil dollars so here is hoping it lasts as long as Hubble.
Hehehe @Captainkal, if they did see that I doubt they would tell us
