We probably wouldn’t have a way to service it in earth orbit either. We needed a space shuttle to operate on Hubble. And using some other commenter’s estimate a 2nd JWST would cost 10% of the 10 billion USD price of the first one. A billion dollars is ballpark what it costed to launch a space shuttle. So even if we had the shuttle, would we fix the first one or just build & launch a second one?

Can we crowdfund 3 more this way, I wonder?
