Are we there yet?

As a matter of fact, yes.  The Webb Telescope successfully made its final L2 insertion burn today.  As always, go poke around at NASA's Webb site (*groan*) for details and the latest.

I'm not at all surprised that NASA has pulled this off so smoothly, but I am still amazed.  Probably though, not as amazed as we'll all be when the first clear ultra^3-deep field images start rolling in sometime later this year.

ps, a day later: the senior space editor over at Ars Technica writes To my surprise and elation, the Webb Space Telescope is really going to work.  He puts the delight and, well, relief from a month-long breath-holding session so well.
