they spent 10+ billion of our dollars and ~20 years on this fucking thing just to post like 100 images to flickr since it went operational, and you wonder why people are losing faith in mainstream science
>>
And how many of the papers have you read OP? Surely you're not just a tourist?
>>
The problem with JWST is the main follow up will take another 20 years. Like they got away with wasting so much money and immediately approved more money wasters for themselves.
>>

>but.....muh papers!
Its a telescope not a word processor, schizo.
>>
>>16617551
what's your complaint here? that not much data has been collected? or that the data is not being transformed into pretty pictures "i fucking love science" porn? asking unironically, i have no idea
>>
>>16617714
It's not Photoshop either. It was built to take scientific data to be anaysed in papers, not pretty pictures. You cannot judge it's productivity without understanding the science.
>>
>>16617551
You realize that it’s in the infrared, right? Any soicence pictures you see with it are false color anyways.
>>
>>16617721
its not doing enough to justify the time or money investment
>>
>>16617950
It's a telescope, it's doing exactly what it was built to do. Also that $10b was split over the lifetime (30 years) of the project. The cost is peanuts.
>>
>>16617953
give me ten billion dollars and I will give you two bags of peanuts.
>>
>>16617950
what has it been doing? and what kind of output would justify the time and money? it's just looking into the sky and reporting, what else can it do? are some of the specs not as good as expected?
>>
>>16617970
>>16617950

what would you rather have the money spent on? aid for isreal? fuck off cretin
>>
>>16617950
Well that goes back to the original question then:
>And how many of the papers have you read
Because if you haven't actually done any research then you're just talking out your ass.
>>
>>16617551
OP thinks the goal of science is to product pretty pictures. kek
>>
>>16617970
how about publish more pictures? or maybe publish one each day? you used taxpayer money, fucking scientist parasite
>>
>>16617979
>>16618065
it was just a question, it's not ironic or anything, i know nothing about the telescope or why you think it failed
>>
>>16618065

There you go, all the pictures you could want.
>>
>>16617551
You can download all the data yourself from MAST.
Then you can do whatever amazing analysis you want on it and post your results.
>>
where the dyson spheres at?
>>
>>16617551
Oh my god! They spent 500 million per year on science instead of giving it to Israel? Fucking disgusting.
>>
>>16617950
>its not doing enough to justify the time or money investment
That's your subjective opinion. I think it has justified the time and money. What now?
>>
nigga really thinks we took 20 billion dollars and launched them into space
