In addition, those objecting to the name have argued that before joining NASA, Webb took part in discussions shaping the federal government's 'Lavender Scare' effort to drive queer people out of the government, while during his time as administrator the agency fired a budget analyst after lengthy interrogations about alleged 'immoral conduct.'Ĭurrent NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stood by the name September 2021. The name breaks with a NASA tradition of naming science missions - Hubble included - after scientists rather than bureaucrats.

However, as the spacecraft has inched toward the launch pad, its name has stirred controversy. The observatory project, originally dubbed the Next Generation Space Telescope, was named for Webb in 2002. Although he is most commonly associated with the Apollo program that sent humans to the moon for the first time just after his tenure ended, Webb also supported the science program at NASA, according to the agency.

A serpentine would lower the light match into a hole in the top of the pan.The James Webb Space Telescope is named for James Webb, who was NASA's second administrator, in office from 1961 until 1968. The support is large enough for the left arm to pass through. The pan is attached by a curved support secured to the lower edge of the shield. A grill for sighting is present above the gun. The strap ends appear to be originally held a single large T-shaped nail. Two align with holding the shield with the left arm (left strap lower and longer, right strap higher and shorter). Remains of three leather straps are located around the rear perimeter. Thick accumulations of fiber are present under the nail heads. The perimeter of the shield, each plate, and the missing boss were edged with a now missing fringe or trim. The textile edges are all held by linen tape secured with dome headed tacks. Unwoven fiber padding is present under the arm pad. A semicircular red wool arm pad is applied over the yellow on the lower rear. The rear is covered overall with yellow twill weave wool. A flat plate holds it in place but a center boss is missing from the front. The gun barrel is fitted through the center of the shield. Each has a teardrop-shaped lobe in the center. The front is then covered with 12 triangular wedges of iron/steel plate. Both sides of the wood core are covered with a coated plain weave textile, possibly hemp(?). The shield is made of two layers of wood slats positioned at right angles to one another.
