NASA recently launched the James Webb Space Telescope, a truly monumental scientific achievement. It’s objective will not be to provide support for the Space Force. Rather, with its powerful lens, it’s focus will be to look back in time to possibly the origins of the universe. The universe is 13.8 billion years old (sorry Marco Rubio), and theoretically started with the Big Bang. The telescope will come closer than we have ever before to witnessing the creation.
Who knows what we will see as we look deeper into history? Maybe we will see a time when voting rights were protected by the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court? That was a long time ago. Maybe we will see a time when climate change and the degradation of the environment were accepted facts, and they were addressed by the Environmental Protection Act. There was a time when a women’s reproductive rights were protected by the Supreme Court. The telescope may witness the creation of Roe vs. Wade. Maybe the telescope can see back to a time when the Second Amendment literally referred to a musket-wielding militia.
Maybe if we can look back far enough, we can make America great again.
