Those will like be the Nancy Grace Roman and LUVOIR space telescopes.

I'm so fucking pumped about the Roman telescope

Yeah, that 2039 date projection for LUVOIR is awful. Especially considering that it will almost certainly be pushed back a few years.

I'd love to see something that big happen though.

Well, if JWST was worth the wait, I'm sure LUVOIR would be as well.

But yeah, I'm impatient too :)
