Description: What’s up with James Webb (or why isn’t James Webb up?)
– What’s the latest with the James Webb Space Telescope?
Alas the James Webb Space Telescope is becoming a tale of woe. There were high hopes of maintaining its 2018 launch date, up until around September 2017 – when the launch date was shifted to 2019, then it was shifted to 2020.
– Who will make it back to the Moon first?
So, which nation will land a human back on the Moon first? It’s still looking like the US, since they really are building the Space Launch System and the Orion spacecraft.
