Try to Contain Your Surprise. James Webb is Getting Delayed to 2020

“Webb is the highest priority project for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate, and the largest international space science project in U.S. history.

“Considering the investment NASA and our international partners have made, we want to proceed systematically through these last tests, with the additional time necessary, to be ready for a May 2020 launch."
