I don't know why you people have to make up these lies. I really don't know what drives you guys to stick your head into the sand this deep. You are fully aware that the launch cost of the JWST is an insignificant part of the mission budget. You are fully aware that there is no factory that mass produces telescopes like that and you are fully aware that there is no demand for launching the same telescope over and over again.
What you might not be aware of is that the folding contraption that you deride so much is probably the simplest and most reliable part of the telescope.
What is particularly perplexing is that people hate on the mission and worship the launch vehicle.
