James Webb Space Telescope
Will launch tomorrow after 2 decades of high tech equipment and at a cost of 10 billion contributed by many countries worldwide. This telescope will be 100 times more powerful than its predecessor the Hubble Telescope and is hoped to reveal many mysteries that still are unsolved. Unlike Hubble the James Webb Telescope will go into orbit roughly 1 million miles equal to 4 X the distance of the moon, this is a one time shot success or failure, Nasa said they wouldn't be able to send a crew to repair if something doesn't happen as planned.
If everything go as planned we will have 2 space telescopes should something interesting occur to be viewed at different angles thereby giving a more precise image.
You can count on many TV stations covering this launch tomorrow and will probably give the breakdown of how significant this is to mankind's knowledge.

How Long have you followed the James Webb Telescope 99942Apophis? World history may be altered sunstantially as a result of a successful launch into orbit.
