Here’s hoping that “incident” a couple weeks ago will be the only one and everything will work out just fine.

This launch and perspective for science has me anxious and excited since its inception - and it’s been a while.

I will open a bottle of champagne when the first data will be sent from L2 with something along the “fully operational” lines.

Godspeed.

I have an acquaintance that's been working on the team for this telescope for as long as I've known him ~10 years. He's had so many disappointments with the continued delays and issues. I hope for his sanity and his research this launch goes flawlessly.
