No dumbshit, they're still working on it but they tore the heatshield on a test unfurling so they have to go back to the drawing board on that componant.

They're saying October 2021, which i dont believe becuase theyve delayed it like 5 times, but its not cancelled

It should be canceled. It would literally have been cheaper and quicker to just develop a bigger rocket than all of JWST's autistic folding.
Starship's capacity is so big it will literally make JWST obsolete the day it launches.

They wont just cancel it after how much they've spent on it, they'll just keep postponing it until they're actually done, like all good devs.
