And I think I read that there are still something like 70 single points of failure left.

I assume so, yeah.

It's neat, cool, and somewhat counterintuitive that the hot side of the thing is 130F. Science is awesome.

Um... what precisely isn't science?

Rephrase: Science is just knowledge

Im not sure where I was going with this.

Also that's how an umbrella works. The part I find interesting is it's basically still 1970s tech (it's basically the same sunshield that was on Skylab in 1974)

There are astronauts, and astronomers and something I really need to sleep this week.

No, that's engineering.

The telescope enables actual science, but there's not a lot of pure science that went directly into putting that bitch out there.

Ermg, did filling a volume of space with a volume of liquid not have philosophical consequences?

Science is formulating a hypothesis then testing it against reality, and either accepting or rejecting the hypothesis.

What someone does, based on that hypothesis and experimentation, is not science, it's application.

Sometimes I don't even stay in the lines. SCIENCE!
