OKAY. Speaking as someone (slightly more than) tangentially involved with the Hubble (and someone who considers himself an astronomer), yes, I am grateful for the support the JWST has gotten over the years/decades. And that's despite the delays and cost overruns. Even so, I can only hope (and cannot guarantee) that the science will be worth it. But thanks to the incredible views of the universe provided by the Hubble, I expect that it will.
