BIG ladder.
I'm sure most here are familiar with the JWST planned L2 orbit, but a lot of people probably don't understand exactly how far out that really is. At a about a million miles from Earth the JWST will be more than four times further away from the Earth than the moon.
Yes, I know that, like I said... a BIG ladder

Though that does mean no chance of any service or repair missions... better get it right first time!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
