It's good to see that this hasn't become a victim of budget cuts.

We need something to replace Hubble, and scientific exploration such as what we can get from Hubble and the James Webb Telescope is important to mankind.

I suppose some would say that we can't afford things like this now, but once you start down that slippery slope there is no climbing back. If we say we can't afford this now, then what's to stop someone from continuing to say "we can't afford it next year, or the next either".

I agree, this telescope will benefit mankind greatly. Itll be great will its finally finished and launched.
