A life’s work

The James Webb space telescope will show us things we’ve never been able to see before, the head of the UK Space Agency reckons. If it has taken 25 years to put into space and cost the US taxpayer $10,500,000,000, the only response to that has to be: “It had bloody well better do just that!”
    Still, it has kept lots of people in work, and will continue to do so if the telescope itself works.
