So tense,all the advancements in astronomy in the last few years and fingers crossed more to come. When I was young many thought we'd never view other solar systems.

Yes, apparently good so far but this lengthy delay in tensioning the heat shield is worrying.

I've been monitoring progress on the Nasa site. It hadn't had the progress updated for a couple of days. I had to go to Ars Technica's message board to find out they have tensioned one of the layers of the sun shield. I was thinking their was some fault with the telescope.

. . .tensioning is gonna be a multi day process
