I really hope this thing is worth all the hype, I've been waiting for it my entire adult life. I hope the rocket doesn't explode when it finally launches.
dont jinx it you fool
Hush. The rocket will be fine.
And that's just one of the things that could go wrong. The whole thing seems quite flimsy to me. Remember the last rocket from Boeing? It couldn't even reach the ISS. But even when the launch goes right the whole thing needs to unfold. One jamming part and the whole thing is an expensive piece of space waste. But I think that it is still worth the money. Future generations might not get a chance to discover the universe. Sadly enough I see a lot of religious extremism from all kind of religious groups who are calling science a lie. And a growing group of christian extremists are calling everyone else the enemy.
@@insAneTunA that went from genuine concern, to talking about a completely diffrent rocket, to conspiracy garble. well done. not sure how you did it but you not only got off topic but so off topic even after re-reading it 3 times i dont know how you didit
It's going up on one of ESA's Ariane 5s, which are very reliable. So it should be fine.

2050: this is your telescope

Sounds like a marriage. What does that say about replacing Hubble...

Imagine if the rocket carrying it fails. You reckon they got a backup incase 😂😂
Imagine if NASA told the truth

@@Nooty small pp response, be nice
Rick Sanchez what xD people that believes in flat earth have already got brainwashed which is sad.
Since it's mine, I don't like the name. I'm officially renaming it, Anton Petrov Space Thing That Folds Like Origami - has a much better ring to it.
Hello wonderful person
Lol.
Uh, I think you're mistaken, it's actually MY telescope, they were clearly talking about me. And frankly, I'm selling it on ebay. Gotta pay off those student loans somehow.
anton!
No its my telescope and i say it stays here! Launch a President or something!
No more bragging, just launch it plz... Enough postponing.... I really need some new wallpapers for my Computer
Don’t worry. Elon will let astronauts build telescopes on the moon with 100X the mirror size of JWST. It will only take a few years to build and wouldn’t need testing since it doesn’t need to be launched. We’ll land on the moon in 3 years
@@PassportGaming this is going much furthur than the moon. The telescope will be 1.5 million kilometers away. The moon is only 384,400 km
@@PassportGaming Yes. Definitely wouldn't need testing. Sound plan. Also which side of the moon? If it's the near side, you are always pointed at Earth. If it's the far side, how do you transmit data or signals? The moon also has moonquakes (shaking is great for telescopes!) and temperature extremes that would require a complex heating and cooling system. But I'm sure you know better than NASA does with your complete ignorance of everything.
@Kris Pard What does its distance have to do with anything? It’s only going far away not to be disturbed by Earth’s Infrared light
Maggie Just one lunch of falcon heavy and the moon will be surrounded by star link satellites.
Coming to an orbit near you in 2420
That is quite optimistic 😂😂
Imagine that that’s gonna be a year tho
😂😂👍
*Changes date and year on my time settings*
It's now 2420, please launch it! And hope that the rocket transporting it DOESN'T 💥🚀
Breaking News:
NASA just released a statement that the launch date of 2420 will be pushed back until 2430 with another nine hundred and eighty-seven quadrillion dollars of additional funding needed to prepare the telescope for launch. Also, due to budget cuts the thin foil sheets will be replaced with SaranWrap.
But it’s definitely launching in 2430. This time they really mean it.
An engineering marvel, indeed
Tom Meyers i like Elon as much as the next guy but your comment is cancer. This is a huge feat of engineering
@Tom Meyers 100% right
Tom Meyers look mom I found elon cultist
@Tom Meyers Elon doesn't have some Iron man suit to build this with cinema magic
@@kulareddy5331 love it or hate it, Tom Meyers is spitting facts. The JWST has been funded since 2006 and has cost overrun over ten times. Yes that is correct--- Ten times planned cost. 14 years. Of course we are all happy its going to go up though... in 2021 hopefully?
By the time this thing gets launched, the last star would have died.
The last black hole evaporates
Great!, So they won't need that cooling system !
only two months left till launch! unless they tack on another 10 years...

@Douglas Sirk like they say the earth is a sphere. You are clever.
Better for all that could go wrong to be worked through before we send it where we won't have the chance to.
Let’s hope they get the mirror right this time
That's a really dumb comment .... they've measured everything in metric aaand imperial to save any confusion.
All critical components have been cut twice, measured once (still too short), and verified with Boeing's software.
Nothing that can go wrong is going to be improved.
As for the mirror .... well it's really, really shiny and golden and pretty and everything and bees love the shape. 🐝🐝

Not possibly... The images are definitly better than hubbles. Unless the mission goes wrong of course!

so basically you gave 0.16% of your salary for this ..
@@TheBarbahaba that's still too much.
You've been "introducing" this thing for the last 20 years. Just launch it already!
Imagine you ran a project that cost *$10 billion.*
Imagine any issues that come from the launch would cost you those $10 billion.
Imagine that any technical issues that you find after deployment (such as what happened with Hubble) can never be fixed, and would therefore be $10 billion straight down the drain.
Are you going to launch it prematurely just because you're impatient? Or are you going to check, double-check, triple-check and examine every tiny little detail of every tiny little thing in the project before launch?
I know what I'd do if I was in charge of the project. I'd prefer it launches extremely late and work as intended, rather than taking the risk of having it launch on time and then fail. NASA would never get any funding for something like this ever again.
They've been testing it for years. And fixing what went wrong in their tests. This is a one-shot mission.
@@angelainamarie9656 The original launch date was supposed to be 2007. They are 13 years behind schedule!
@@Athaeus It was supposed to cost 0.5 billion, that's the whole problem! We were scammed big time by NASA
@@francispauwels1071 That's incorrect. The project was estimated to cost $5 billion once the project was ready to move into the construction phase.
I hope they made two of them, just in case.
They could've made 20 of them (wish I was joking) if NASA's cost estimate of 500 million dollars had been anywhere near correct.
oh i see what u did there
Smart idea
@@francispauwels1071 oh my god, how dared NASA, whom was denied 6 billion for continued operations right after triumph of Moon landing, ask for money from a government that had purchased 10 supercarriers at 9.5 billion each. And now is building 10 more at 14 billion each.
@@francispauwels1071 You can never get a govt. funding by estimating correctly, that's the sad truth. Companies do it all the time. The cold war is over, so NASA had to learn this trick as well.
I really hope I live long enough to see some of the images it sends back.
"It's your telescope"
me: k send it.
I'm so eager to see the images this telescope will capture.
JWST : *sends 0 images*
If you take a look at the Hubble deep field and the images it provided us, it is really hard to imagine what an even more powerful telescope could be able to see.
0:04 “This is YOUR telescope.”
Umm, does that mean we get to use it using our home computers?
Probably through their website if you fill an application and it gets accepted for your use
@@ninjatzH or by installing software to go through all the data they release.
Good luck! I really hope it works as planned.
yo how are you even verified?!?!
They should start making another one now just in case something happens to this one.
It would take years
Good idea, maybe we'll be out of the middle east by the time that one's done. So another 20 - 30 years or so?
20+ billions + 20+ billions?
Akdas Ahmad Most of that was development cost, not the actual building of the thing...
Idkhowtokms It wouldn’t, the R&D doesn’t have to be done again... just give the plans to SpaceX, lol
Launching this will end NASAs best and longest running sci-fi series to date...
NASAnta barbara
I don’t know why but I’m really, really excited for this. I’ve been impressed by Hubble time and time again, and I can’t wait to be wowed by things we haven’t seen before!
Either launch it or I’m gonna go there and launch it my damn self
After seeing you name I'm afraid
Just don't blow your self up
May all go well! 🙏
The two things that unite humans, science and art
Stef Chasseloup You mean “Space and a common enemy”. Right?
sadly flat earthers exist
Jon Goodenough they are the common enemy
I thought science and art are polarising, not unifying.

@@newsgetsold if evidence exists
@@OMGitsTerasu Every time you read and write the date it's pointing to a carpenter and his empty grave in Jerusalem. Meanwhile our top academics and scientists are happy to believe we're evolved from apes by chance, based on a model which we know for certain was made up by a man qualified in theology, and the best evidence for which is incomplete bone fragments of Lucy with the remainder being literally fabricated of bronze. All hail Lucy the best evidence the atheists have got.
Another introduction?!
Well, I guess there have been kids come to age that never heard of it, as long as NASA has taken to get it launched.
12 years old and I hope it launches before I’m 50.
So...
*LAUNCH IT ALREADY!*
we're so close...
Patience my child . We can't take risks
Despite my impatience, I understand the precautions NASA is taking to ensure a successful launch and implementation of the JWST.
I truly appreciate all the men and women who've devoted so much of their lives to the human pursuit of discovery and exploration. Thank you. Godspeed, damn it.
Let’s hope they didn’t get their metric and imperial measurements mixed up...
Oh god
MCO flashbacks
You mean that rover they launched?
More Blah blah Hubble.
More Blah blah no, the Mars Climate Orbiter was lost because it was given the information of how long to burn its engine for in feet per second instead of the expected meters per second, so it burned for ~3 times too long and burned up in Mars’ atmosphere during the aerobreaking maneuver.
NASA should get a lot more money for their projects.
I melted on the way narrator says James Webb Telescope
1961- Kennedy announces man on the moon by the end of the decade.

The wallpapers are going to be spectacular!
a beautiful telescope and especially great that the US, Canada and Europe working together and peacefully exploring the universe, it's just gigantic
that disproves some people's statement that nations can't work together peacefully 👍👍👍👍👍
Hubble was already a great telescope, but I think we can expect the most incredible images from the James Webb telescope
I'm really excited
ننتظر بفارغ الصبر أن يجيبنا هذا التلسكوب الخارق عن نشأة الكون وطبيعة المادة المظلمة والطاقة المظلمة
فيض محبتي وباقات شكري لجهودكم أيها المبدعون الرائعون
Uuuuuuggggghhhhhhh. I can’t wait for this to launch!!!!!!!!! I’m so pumped.
This, is your telescope, the telescope that went 10 times overbudget, and was late for 20 years, this, is the James Webb Telescope.
Itll be worth it.
Yea it went overbudget..so what?
This is science kiddo
Love from India to NASA 🇮🇳
I WANT MORE! I need a documentary about this telescope!!
Now imagine, that this thing will float in space somewhere... I do love to see it there.
Your heat signature might be enough to disturb the observations.
It will be placed in the Lagrange point L2, só always in the dark, quite hard to see
Me too
Took ‘em long enough! Let’s go!
Hope everything goes according to plan and the discovery of our mysteries
So we can find more gold snd food
Amazing. I remember watching the news about the construction of this telescope and now here we are years later.
"16 TIMES THE DETAIL"
It just works...
And just look at our beautiful canvas bag.
4 times the size of huble 4
All new Rendering, Lighting and Landscape Technology!
And infinite Times the delay!
Your killing me! I just want it up there and make sure it isn't like the Hubble but with no shuttle to fix it.
I love how they call it "ours" like they care about us XD
They care about us because we fund them with our taxes.
Ohh sh GET OUT BOYS RUN RUN ITS THE PO PO
I've seen so many documentaries about this thing I could build one! Launch it already!
They could’ve launched a half a dozen of these by now, I was in elementary school when they announced this thing.
Finally! I was so mad when they delayed it in 2018. But finally! I get to see what this baby has to offer! I can’t wait to see what we as a species can discover with this beauty
Next delay comin' up!
Please don't mess this up, please don't mess this up, please. I don't have another 50 years in me to wait
Nice. This was actually great 👍😊
-someone from 2022 (2 yrs later)
Amazingly complex, a true ode to the dedication, sciences and arts of exploration and engineering... I hope it launches without incident and manages to become one of those human instruments of knowledge gathering that can reside upon the tall pedestal of spacecraft which has broadened our horizions beyond our own solar system.... such as Voyager, Hubble and Kepler.
It has been launched
What NASA will see and analyze with this thing will blow people's minds. Excited to see it.
Отличный инструмент. Очень ждем запуска в работу. Успехов всем кто его создает.
Our wait for this was way beyond worth it.
Eating doritos while open mouth breathing doing my closeup final inspection of the mirror before launch
They're bad for you hahahah
Drops dorito in a small spot without noticing. Prevents it from working.
By the time this thing launches, Dr. Dre will have finally released his Detox album.
I feel like I've been watching videos about this thing for 10 years. Can we just put it in space!?
My first expressions.....
Mahool😍
I'm so glad I got a chance to work on parts of it.
Optics actuator and sun shields.
Are there corrections done for the gaps in the primary mirror or will these 'gaps' show up on the final reflected image ?
Neil McMahon any gaps will not show up in pictures. They just result in an ever so slight dimming of the image, but that is compensated by the sheer size of the whole scope.
It‘s the same with any mirror telescope.
The secondary mirror in a Newton are analogues blocking light resulting in a shadow, but you don’t see it on a focused image.
Or the hole in a mirror of a Cassegrain, causes a slight reduction in brightness, but a price worth paying for the size and magnification Power.
Each mirror segment adds light information. Gaps do not detract, so much as not contribute. The benefit being that it is much easier to manufacture smaller mirrors which are also less massive and able to be folded, and you can individually tune each segment. - you gain much more from this than you lose with "gaps"
Those gaps do not affect the image and will never appear on any image, the telescope is only concerned about light, not if there are gaps or holes on the mirror.
Once, some crazy dude shot a telescope mirror, and even though there were bullet holes on it, apart from some diffraction the images were still perfect.
You can have a working telescope even if 90% the mirror is broken or blocked, it will only affect the resolution and the brightness of the image.
ELI5:
Point a flashlight at the wall. Now take one more flashlight and point it at the same spot on the wall. Light spot gets brighter.
Now separate the flashlights from each other, but keep them pointed at the same spot on the wall. The will be no 'gaps' on the bright spot, right?
The mirrors are the flashlights. The reflected image is the bright spot on the wall.
This will be amazing such a long wait, but it'll be worth it.
Hmm I thought I read about this being “soon developed” like 10 years ago as a little kid
Incredible engineering and scientific achievement - we can be simply amazing about what can we create!
I've been waiting for years. I think I'm gonna have an anxiety attack during launch
Wow this gives me hope in humanity. I want more science!
Again I ask... the video states JWST is "our" telescope... will the public be allotted any "science time" to perhaps decide what James Webb should be tasked to do???
Go humanity go!!
I think it's a soviet kind of "our"
Nope
Some of the time is preferentially allocated to scientists and institutions involved in building it, but most of it will be handed out through competitive proposals. So if you come up with an observation proposal that has higher scientific value per time spent that any other's, the observation can't be done with any other telescope etc, then it doesn't matter who you are the observation will be done. But understand that there are way more scientists wanting observation time than there is any to be had and they are probably better at justifying why they need it than Joe Average.
Could be however that later on in the program, when primary science goals have been met, some time will be allocated specifically for amateurs. They did it with Hubble and it has been done with other space telescopes too. But of course, that too is competitively allocated, just between amateur astronomers, not between major institutions that have entire teams to write the proposals.
One day the universe will be so mapped out that it would be as easy as using Google Map any part of it
AWESOME THANK YOUU
This is the best we can build something, I so want this to work. Please no failures.
We're living in one of the most advanced and fantastical eras in history - NO, easily THE MOST amazing time in history.
Yet somehow we're also living in an era where TikTok exists.
It's taking so much time, but soon it will be a reality. NASA should send an extra camera to space to film it unfolded. What a beauty.
If this were MY telescope it would have been fired for being 13 years late for work.
Well, let's see you do it faster!
It's actually 14 years late, but who's counting?
