James Webb: 'Fully focused' telescope beats expectations

The American space agency has achieved a major milestone in its preparation of the new James Webb Space Telescope.

Engineers say they have now managed to fully focus the $10bn observatory on a test star. The pin-sharp performance is even better than hoped, they add.

To get to this stage, all of Webb's mirrors had to be aligned to tiny fractions of the width of a human hair.

Pin sharp? Our luck we'll get confronted by aliens for being peeping toms and taking porno photos in their backyards.🙄

Here’s a scenario that has a non-zero possibility of being accurate:

Poltician 1: Hey guys, lets fund some $10 billion science project that will take pictures of things that no one has ever seen.

Politician 2: Why?

Poltician 1: Because we won’t actually spend the money, we’ll just say that we did. Then we split the money! And if anyone asks to see the pics, we can give them anything! A shitty Photoshop, a lens flare from a JJ Abrams movie, anything we want. Total cost will be 100 bucks tops!

Politician 2: Brilliant! Let‘s do it!

Couldnt we just use 1 billion of it to see Dolly Parton's tits? Before and after AARP membership preferred.
 
I been wanting to see them big ole puppies for a vast majority of my life. Where do I donate?
Ive been wanting to see them since I was weaned off the tit, in hopes I could latch onto hers. There has to be a picture out there somewhere. Someone needs to start a GoFundMe account, tell her its for the good of humanity and it will forever be in the Smithsonian posthumously even. Did I say I really want to see her tits?
