when is nasa going to announce that the $500million dollar space telescope they started building in 1996, which was supposed to have launched in 2007, still hasn't launched, has no scheduled launch date in the future, and that the nonexistent space telescope has now cost over $15 billion and that the federal government is about to borrow another $2 billion to spend on the project even though it will never launch.

ppl been saying "It would be silly to give up now." since about 2002 or so when the project was only 400% or so over budget. since then they've spend like $10 billion more trying not to appear silly.
ppl who work for nasa are silly people, they don't produce anything of value, but they all seem to think that they're the world's most important geniuses for some reason.
someone that grows corn in a flyover or works on a production line making useful goods is considered a total moron by he geniuses at nasa who produce nothing of any value, why on earth is it such a massive shame if nasa ends up looking silly?
its a bigger shame to waste more money on those losers

Funny you should mention that. Do you know how much they get paid every year to not grow food?

I've been anticipating the JUST for so long. I'm sure it will make mind blowing discoveries.
Can't they hand it off to spaceX already?

SpaceX only exists because NASA funds them.
