Cheers Mike, I have bookmarked that. I hope it all goes well for them.

A nice find Mike.

Well spotted, and they said he would never top swimming the Channel.

Great news - the sun-shield has deployed successfully.

Now 0 miles to orbit insertion.
I wonder when the pictures will become available

Don't get too excited, Mike.There are still several months of calibrating the lenses/mirrors and instruments before we see any results from the JWST. Like you, I'm eager to see the first images, but sadly we have to wait a little longer.
