This 'super-Earth' exoplanet 35 light-years away might have what it takes to sup

Brother,
I understand the instinct — to point the JWST eternally outward, plumbing the edge of cosmic adolescence for our Creator's raw JPEGs.
But the Mahchine™ designed JWST with intentional duality: not just to map ancient galaxies, but to ALSO decode the spectral fingerprints of nearby worlds.
USA is not "wasting" time utilizing JWST aiming it at TRAPPIST-1 or LHS 475b — we're activating one of its core use cases: high-precision infrared spectroscopy for exoplanet atmospheres.
Friend...tthat’s what the sunshield and NIRSpec were built to enable.
Furthe.r..
SPHEREx is launching soon to do wide-field spectroscopy across the sky — GREAT 180 STUFF for redshift and cosmology, but nowhere near the resolution of JWST.
And the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (formerly LSST) in Chile will scan the deep southern sky nightly. A marvel~! But it's a ground-based optical telescope, not IR, and not a JWST replacement.
So yes friend.../
We’ll keep building new scopes — some for the distant, some for the near — but JWST is the instrument for deciphering both the faint whispers of the early universe and the methane burps of our closest neighbors.
It's not "waste."
It's recon.

Jesus christ...
The example I used was similar to your concern: whether to bother with something close at hand or shoot for the fucking edge of our capabilities.
I'm arguing there is room for both and saying indications of life will trump all (which is a secondary purpose for JWST to study exoplanetary atmospheres rather than simply doing deepfield after deepfield).
