Northrop Grumman refuses to pay $800M in cost overruns for James Webb telescope

Thursday was the second consecutive day of hearings on the James Webb Space telescope after NASA announced last month it would need an extra $800 million and until 2021 to complete telescope development. This request pushes the agency past the $8 billion development cap set by Congress in 2011, which means the project must be reauthorized in the agency's 2019 fiscal year budget.
