This might be a stupid question, but won't the Webb solar shield act as a sail and effect the telescope's orbit?

A few hours after launch the James Webb Space Telescope is about 9% of the distance from Earth to it's destination L2, so why is that orbital insertion 29 days away? At the current speed it would get there in a couple of days. The maths doesn't make sense.

Challenger Details

Hello, I'm wondering if there's anyone on here who knows a lot about the space shuttle missions and the Challenger disaster specifically. I'm working on a project and trying to get info on the seating positions and details like helmets worn etc. This is a very respectful project and I just would like to get as many details right as I am able. Thank you, and Happy Holidays

What telescope

I’m a complete beginner and I don’t know what telescope I should get. I want something that’s not to expensive where I can get an as clear view as possible. I have my eyes on Celestron Astromaster 114 eq telescope, is that a good one? If not does anyone have any good recommendations?
