Where does it say that the planning component is going to space? The web stuff seems to be for UI and is all ground based. i think that most Gui work these days is web based as we have forgotten how to do it in any other way.

Its like this: programmers who do ui move on to other things (mostly into stuff that gets you a higher sallary) and the new ones are left with the latest and greatest toolkits - all with their own set of weak points.

In both of the papers I reference, there is a javascript component running on the JWST.

Of course the mission planning stuff is all groundside.
