The money doesn't come for the replacement of the Hubble Telescope
JWST teleskopioaren atal bat izango da hau.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be the second of its kind to be built by NASA. As you will have infrared vision, you will learn more about the first galaxies that formed in the universe.
However, according to the recent report, the estimated $5 billion in 2008 will fall short of the telescope, requiring at least an additional 30 per cent. It seems that the problem is not the increase in technical or scientific aspects, but the mismanagement of the whole project. Since the project will absorb 40% of NASA’s Department of Astronomy budget, it doesn’t look like the missing money will come out of NASA itself. Meanwhile, the Hubble Telescope was extended in life last year thanks to the repair carried out by some American astronauts. They say it will last until 2014, when will JWST be ready?

Sometimes I don't know if it's too much. That we're eating a pipe, that we're talking about anything else, that we're bringing it up. We like to speak aloud, to leave almost no pause, to cover the voices, to throw a bigger one. Talk about each one of them, each one of them, what we... [+]
