Interesting report. When HST was sent up, there were mirror issues and a space shuttle mission corrected the problem. JWST will be at the L2 point - so any mirror problems when opened up for use??

The Hubble mirror was a classic failure of management, exactly parallel with the Challenger disaster. NASA has hardly learned its lesson, but they won't make that one with JWST.
