@Chibuike Okpara

Very interesting article, but can you please stop refering to James Webb telescope as "NASA's James Webb Space Telescope"?

It was built by a consortium of space agencies and research centers all around the world, including European Space Agency, Japan, Canada and many others.

Give the correct credit, or don't give at all.
