According to their calculations this could extend the lifespan by 5 to 15 years based on fuel savings.

Who knows what technology we'll have available before Webb runs out of liquid helium. Maybe we'll be about to go out there and re-fill the sucker.

One of the best stories of 2021, by far. Maybe the best.

I have a feeling that the images we will receive from Webb will absolutely amaze humanity. It might also change what we believe about the big bang, as well.

The possibility to find techno signatures as well as bio signatures from exoplanets is quite high as well. If they exist of course.
