Webb's lessons

As we observe the steady decay of the Webb, let's consider how to do it better next time.

Overall the mission has grown on me, as it has Zubrin despite that he's had other ideas. NASA folded up an excellent craft and got it out there, and unfolded it. Next time should be cheaper at launch with a reusable booster. Or to be assembled in orbit. If it's not a ProjectRho law it should be: all handcrafted missions are prototypes.

I heard yesterday that the mirrors can be improved, also.
