More setbacks. This mission will never get done.

Did you even read the article? I mean, I know this I'd Reddit but come on. It's 98% deployed, is not mission affecting, handled its earth flyby without issue, and is considered an acceptable level of risk.

Are you confusing it with Psyche, a mission that's been delayed a couple of times? Lucy has already launched, one of the solar panels stopped deploying at 98%, and NASA decided that they don't need to go the rest of the way. It's not a setback.

the array appears stable and can generate sufficient power to carry out its mission.

To be fair how often do we read the link instead of the headline
