I avoided getting excited about the Webb because I was pessimistic about its chances of successfully deploying. The sunshield alone had to be an engineer's nightmare! But by some combination of genius and luck, we have a fully-deployed telescope. It still needs to go through five months of alignment and calibration but I'm daring to hope now. What a spectacular instrument of science this thing is going to be if all goes well!
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
