NASA nudges James Webb telescope launch date after 'sudden, unplanned' vibration incident:
The James Webb Space Telescope is a very big, very overdue and very sensitive project. After years of delays, it was supposed to launch on Dec. 18 and become the newest flagship observatory. The launch has now been moved to no earlier than Dec. 22 after an incident during launch preparations.
The telescope is in the process of getting together with the Ariane 5 rocket that will escort it into space. "A sudden, unplanned release of a clamp band — which secures Webb to the launch vehicle adapter — caused a vibration throughout the observatory," NASA said in a statement Monday.
[...] NASA expects to deliver an update on the telescope's condition at the end of the week.

Found the misogynist! Why do you hate women? Why are you obsessed with raping women on the cuddle puddle couch? It's an obsession!
Let me click my projector on to max so that you will understand that only the real men at Boeing know how to treat the ladies right.
