[U] NASA's Webb Space Telescope: The Array Of Hexagonal Mirrors -- Unfolding Flawlessly...


Yup -- this is all pretty darn cool.

Onward, into Milton's clear night sky:



"...A broad and ample road, whose dust is gold,



And pavement stars -- as starts to thee appear



Soon in the galaxy, that Milky Way



Which nightly as a circling zone thou seest



Powder'd with stars
. . . ."





. . . .Performed in early March, this most recent test involved commanding the spacecraft’s internal systems to fully extend, and latch Webb’s iconic 21 feet 4 inch (6.5 meter) primary mirror into the same configuration it will have when in space. . . .


Onward, then, out into Milton's night sky. . . smiling. . . . Congrats! Promoted, in March, to Director... Nice, and well-earned... Smile....
