I been wondering how in the world they are going to keep stuff from hitting it. Unlike the Hubble the JWT is super fragile and exposed, and its not in a low earth orbit, its way out past the moon.

Seems like its a sitting duck for micrometeorites. And its can't be serviced way out there other than by remote.
