This is probably the most incredible, difficult and important endeavor in recent human history and most people don't even know what the JWST is if you asked them. Hopefully the discoveries of JWST will change that though. Thanks for all of your dedication and hard work. I would feel a lot better about myself if i contributed to something as significant as this.
Joe Dirt its not that important vs real people scratching to put food on the table and trying to keep a roof over their heads to shelter from the cold of space during the winter and from the suns radiation. 8 billion people on this plant and most live in poverty.. think about that the next time you decide to put people down who dont have the time to stare gaze or think about weather more people exists on another planet. i happen to think this project is very cool... but they are looking for more crap in the vast endless sea of crap... lets be real... while very important this telescope is a luxury... remember that the next time you try to put people down for not following what we so happen to think is kewl.
@@b3at2 What on earth are you talking about? How has Joe Dirt put anyone down? You're seriously on a pedestal because of his excitement about JWST? You need to have a look at yourself in the most pristine and faultless golden mirror featured in this video.
Incredible. I really hope it deploys without complications. I don't think I'm smart enough to understand the massive amount of effort and skill that went into constructing this beautiful observatory, but thanks for all your hard work people!
Incredible what all those people achieved with their knowledge, passion, and hard work! We are so proud to be part of it with having laser polished and gold-coated the mirror segments.
words cannot describe how excited i am to see what images this thing takes. i hope it will help alot of ignorant people out there realize just how small we are.
JWST is going to be a mile stone in the history of mankind, maybe as important as Galileo's first telescope itself. I am very excited to see what this window show us . Love the NASA for this.
Is the main objective of placing the JWST at L2 blocking the light coming from the Sun? Also, I was trying to understand what a halo orbit was. Any helpful resources are much appreciated. :)
I am so curious to what has been blurred out at 1:36 and 2:44 in the video. What is the secret addition to the telescope that should not be seen by us?
It's the actuators on the mirrors (you'll see they are blurred in other vids too). These are motors that allow the mirrors to be adjusted individually. Some of the tech falls under the ITAR umbrella.
aviral gupta the first image will be Shit. it takes several images and small adjustments until the thing is focused correctly. then it will be awesome.
The first image released to the public will have all those things taken into account. It takes a while to cool the telescope to operating temperature, and to calibrate the instruments and fine tune the mirrors.
Can you imagine all this effort/time/money to make this and the rocket that propels it into space explodes seconds after lift off? Hope this goes well or we will never see this kind of telescope ever again.
Actually SpaceX has a very good track record as well. NASA itself is going to be using SpaceX's services to fly up astronauts as early as next year. If NASA trusts SpaceX to send astronauts then I would not imagine that they would have a problem utilizing them to send up the JWST.
wjfox2006 Yes broda, got a confirmation on it. ATLAST is also coming to life after JWST only in 2 years time frame... XD HDST is actually ATLAST. ATLAST has been renamed. No its not by 2030s, its coming by 2020's as a surprise. Shh don't tell anyone. They are not telling anyone, cuz they don't want JWST's excitement to be stolen away. JWST was suppose to be a 2012 project, but due to financial conditions it didn't happen. The JWST's mirrors were already ready in 2012 (FYI). NEW FRONTIER HERE WE COME!!! :'D
Thank a welder and machinist. Engineers are a dime a dozen - men and women who can cut metal are worth their weights in gold... Too bad NASA has its head up its ass about supporting the trades...
Oooh, I think I am going to pray that every thing goes well and that the telescope is deployed as planned! I am sure that success or ) failure of this mission can have such a profound impact on humanity as a whole. If it fails boy oh boy actual USA president administration will cut all the fundings for science and that can take us to the dark ages! There are 400 steps for deployment!

@@b3at2 we are human and if we just try to bring food on our tables we would still have living in caves

i watched this video in school, 5 years ago. its finally in space

:)

Hopefully it lands safe at its lagrange point. Can't wait to see it's first images!
words cannot describe how excited i am to see what images this thing takes. i hope it will help alot of ignorant people out there realize just how small we are.
And now it's up there, mirror unfolded and soon on L2 - what an enterprise!

Goosebumps. The hype keeps on escalating!
decades of work + state of the art technologies + planet's smartest brains = first image of big bang source.
Удачи Вэб!
Mind is blown, not at the JWT but the work the sheer imagination... making 10 new inventions, the preciseness, care and love in this. Beautiful
Please don't screw it up!! If it can't run I think I will cry.
science and technology at the service of humanity and great advances in precision electronics for space telescopes
Absolutely Spectacular.
This is amazing!! Thankyou for building it :)
This is so exciting! I just wish there were 2 of them.
Your achievements are out of this world. Succes with the launch. All fingers crossed.
I am so excited 4 this!
Yeah me too :)
HeliosphanXtal
Aphex Twin! Woo!
Great vid, thanks.
i'm waiting, good luck on launch
What an achievement !
Best of luck.
Am very excited to view is first image of space
If the rocket launch goes wrong I will cry, alot...
Is it just me or is there something blurred at 1:36
congrats!
when will it be launched?
waited for years :)
Is the main objective of placing the JWST at L2 blocking the light coming from the Sun? Also, I was trying to understand what a halo orbit was. Any helpful resources are much appreciated. :)
i cant wait for it to analyse the Trappist 1 system
I'm so excited! I can't wait! Good luck!
Is it capable to take colored photos or black and white like Hubble?
How can James Webb Space Telescope recharge its battery power after it is at its destination in space for long period of time?
Amazing!
Go Webb, Go Webb!

Oct 2018 James Webb will launch off the coast of Guyana. James Webb will be unfolding, after a 2+month trip,1 million miles from earth..
waiting to see first image out form it.
aviral gupta the first image will be Shit. it takes several images and small adjustments until the thing is focused correctly. then it will be awesome.
hmm. thanks for the info!
The first image released to the public will have all those things taken into account. It takes a while to cool the telescope to operating temperature, and to calibrate the instruments and fine tune the mirrors.
hmm below 50K. I think it will take a while to get some cool images out form it. but still can wait for it!
Bueno un telescopio capaz de ver en el tiempo para resolver los misterios del espacio y que el tiempo varía depende de donde estes
I really hope that the launch vehicle won't screw up
Super...
Can you imagine all this effort/time/money to make this and the rocket that propels it into space explodes seconds after lift off? Hope this goes well or we will never see this kind of telescope ever again.
When James Webb will open his eyes..
5 years later...
Imagine how tragic it would be if they use SpaceX to launch this thing and they somehow manage to blow it up. :/
We are launching on an Ariane 5 which has an excellent safety record.
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Sweet.
When will the Ariane 5 launch with the JWST?
Definitely lots of successful missions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ariane_launches
Actually SpaceX has a very good track record as well. NASA itself is going to be using SpaceX's services to fly up astronauts as early as next year. If NASA trusts SpaceX to send astronauts then I would not imagine that they would have a problem utilizing them to send up the JWST.
Surprised @2.21 seconds lifting things by hand over the mirror with no safety hook/chain...
Go JWST... Atlast is coming too in 2020... Can't wait for you to find those Aliens who are playing hide n seek with us... XD
Is the ATLAST still going ahead? The last I heard, it was happening a bit later (2025-). There's also the HDST planned for the 2030s.

wjfox2006 it's set to launch off the coast of Guyana in October of 2018
Very easy to see why it cost so much to bring it to reality.
Why is this video just counting my views?
I can not beleive ittttt
Sounds like a car commercial.
0:24 Crashes into it.... crap
ITS NOT THERE ANYMORE
Charles what?
Thank a welder and machinist. Engineers are a dime a dozen - men and women who can cut metal are worth their weights in gold... Too bad NASA has its head up its ass about supporting the trades...

What, on earth (or on deep sky) could be the purpose of this cheap, nagging, nugatory musac in the background? It adds NOTHING. It only DISTRACTS.
