  I wish our original timeline was intact so we could see something positive this year instead of all this negativity with the virus. I would love to see the James Webb telescope get launched In 2020 but I will be patient for 2021

  I really can’t wait to see the thing launched! And REALLY REALLY can’t wait to see it’s first images. Can @elonmusk and @SpaceX launch it, and now you have bigger rockets can you make a bigger better and cheaper one quicker that we can use to see better and further please?
