With all the micrometeorites and stuff, won't that get damaged? Doesn't the ISS have several impacts itself?
Curious about the science #Webb will perform? The Italian edition of @sciam published a primer on the telescope's scientific goals. Read the translated version here: https://bit.ly/2HfjpdQ , or read it in Italian here: https://bit.ly/2H4P3ej #JWSTpic.twitter.com/XNkYMiF5nX

The ISS is in Earth orbit. We're actually in orbit around the Sun, a million miles away so not much debris out there. Also studies were done and micrometeoroid impacts have a negligible effect on beryllium (of which our mirrors are made).
