It extends to how they drink water. There is a fascinating article about that in the NY Times, or you can read the original engineering report in Science.
Science also reported that the Webb Space Telescope is about 30% over budget and a year behind schedule, and that is a best-case scenario. Given that the Federal budgeteers are trying to cut wherever they can, the chances that NASA is going to get extra money for the Webb are somewhere between slim and none. Which mans other programs at NASA will be cut.

Maybe they should just launch all the parts up into orbit, and finish the work in space. Sounds expensive, but it worked the last time.
Won't work, because the Webb Telescope would be out at one of the LaGrange points, far, far out of reach of human spacecraft.
