This is The Hubble Space Telescopes predecessor and only found out recently its 100 times more powerful. So given that information i'm looking forward to it's first images when it hopefully is completed.

*Successor

Anyway, it's still ~7 years off, I'm not going to get too overly excited for it until at least 1 year before it launches. Right now, it's just too early for me to get excited for it.

Yep we shall not get excited for something we will probably forget the day of the launch

I really hope this mission isn't cancelled!! With the cancellation of the Constellation program last year and the end of the Shuttles, NASA really needs a good thing right now.
