#JWST paid for over 40 million hours of labor for 10,000 people, that is highly paid JOBS involving 19 countries and 29 states

#JWST $10 Billion over decades? That is no more than 4% of NASAs budget every year. The Department of defense gets over $700 Billion every year.

Some Webb developments have had spin-off benefits. One example assists surgeons performing LASIK eye surgery: Engineers developed
a technique for precisely and rapidly measuring the mirrors to guide their grinding and polishing.
This technology has since been adapted to creating high-definition maps of patients’ eyes for improved
surgical precision.
