I’m glad that the biggest space story this year won’t be some billionaires flying into space for a bit. This is so much more fascinating: In December, the largest ever space telescope is set to launch. It’s 100 times more powerful than the Hubble telescope and might allow humanity to spot the first stars and galaxies that ever existed. It will literally look billions of years into the past.
