I don't feel bad for anyone who reserved anything from a Musk company after about 2015. They should all know that what they are buying into is probably a pipe dream. How many years has Tesla been selling cars with the "FSD" package promising it could be activated "next year"?

"To work together as a single mirror, the telescope’s 18 primary mirror segments need to match each other to a fraction of a wavelength of light – approximately 50 nanometers. To put this in perspective, if the Webb primary mirror were the size of the United States, each segment would be the size of Texas, and the team would need to line the height of those Texas-sized segments up with each other to an accuracy of about 1.5 inches."
I'm thinking that's impressive accuracy even if it is in inches. blogs.nasa.gov

Yeah, I'm in a temperature controlled room and I move things around by nanometers too. Lots of nanometers but nanometers all the same.

No, I meant precision in the technical sense. I assumed there are thermal changes based on not just the orientation of the satellite relative to the sun, but also the changes in radiation.

Meh... Sun spins. It's not perfectly uniform but what do I know? Just guessing. Maybe it's easier than a cleanroom.

Figured you all might enjoy this one. Aligning the Web reflectors is a process they are doing on site/sight.
