Yeah, I think there was a misaligned mirror. Hubble is low enough that they were able to send someone to fix it. They also upgraded the CPU of Hubble at one point.

JWT is too far away for away for repairs, at least with current technology.

also too far away for degenerating orbits to be a risk

and too far away for the low earth orbit debris field to be a risk

No they couldn't. The telescope costs around $10 billion. Students loans would cost over $1 trillion.

A tweet linking to a Forbes article is still an article. Dont be pedantic.

The article, published July 18th, actually says the damage is worse than they initially thought ( -_-)

It also says they expected it to be hit once a month and that the damage may be worse than expected, but still isnt an issue.
