The James Webb Space Telescope is going to be launched tomorrow Dec 25th.

The memory limitation of 64kb RAM makes its very challenging to render a 3D object like the JWST with over 40k of verts on the commodore plus/4 (or any 8 bit homecomputer of that era). But in Blender you are able to export the finished render in a SVG format file (vector graphics), which you can translate in drawing commands for the plus/4. Model is taken from the NASA 3d Ressource site.
