Imagine spending more than half of your career engineering, designing, and testing a dream, then launch it all into space.🤞💚
Imagine how nervous you'd be during launch
and it crashes and burns in space
Hahahaha don't care as long you pay me my slavery wages
in an infinite universe it makes sense to catch solar wind - pull cables from pole to pole slightly offset for the dynamo effect
(mars as a mega machine)
And then having to learn it won't open and was a complete waste. That would suck. I'd cry.
This is a monumental achievement for science. It's great to see positive news that brings people together for a greater purpose.
The most complex time machine ever created by humanity is less than 17 hours to launch, if everything goes well, it will be the best xmas present in the history of science
🤞
Launch was successful, now we wait about 5 months and a million miles to hope in unfolds properly and everything is working as it should . Fingers crossed
@Umang Singh Because you are looking at the past. Spacetime forbids us from seeing anything at all, really, in its present manifestation.
If you are a fan of science in any way, this is a huge deal. Makes me proud to be human.
Dont get too proud. I heard you just sit in the corner and fart all day.
@@mookiechreo1653 I keep wondering whose keep sniffing his fart all day, well now I know.
@@Hijab_Diffusion After your failed business of canning farts you should know better.

I’ve had the privilege of seeing this thing in person and it is truly an incredible sight to behold.
Cool story ...
You should take everybody out for pizza and share your experience with everyone else and not selfishly keep it to yourself.
What is it like? I want to see it so badly... I hear it is big but I have no context.
Me too
@@malibustacy3606 idk if you're jokingly saying that it or if you're being cynical
Man, I've been waiting for this day for so long. Just thinking about all the cool things Hubble was able to see, James Webb makes Hubble look like a telescope you buy can get at Walmart. The mind blowing things this telescope will discover will change how we look at the universe. Literally and figuratively.
and how will this help anyone?
Word!!
@@robertburnam5433 it won't help anyone directly but it'll generally advance science leading to further discoveries that could more directly help people.
@@robertburnam5433 Defining our place in spacetime helps everyone, by definition. But, shhhh, don't tell anyone. Let them keep complaining about how it's just a waste of money, time, and energy. Enjoy the upcoming cosmic slideshows anyway....
@@robertburnam5433 . How do you think your internet access become possible?? Its not magic. What other silly questions do you have?
25 days or so until it reaches L2. Hopefully that goddamn panel unfolds without a single problem. This is amazing. 30 cents per United States citizen per year is all it cost and people are bitching it’s a waste of money.
This is an insanely incredible achievement and what this telescope will tell us about the universe and where we stand will blow some minds.
Best .30 cents I’ve ever spent
This telescope will be a game-changer for what we know about the universe and its origin. I can't wait to see the images and results. Unbelievable achievement.
Same I’m hyped
Thanks to White People technology and technical and scientific staff
@@hubertcumberdale2651 with Chinese made materials
Jesus Christ is God. No way all this could evolve. Something as simple as the 5 steps of blood clotting couldn’t evolve because everything would have bled out. It would have had to been in place instantly. That’s only one thing of many. They say it rained on rocks for millions of years so I guess yours great grandparents are rocks
Think we really don't want to know & want to know if aliens are real with unknown intentions. For sure they're billions years advanced. Curiosity will be our death knell.
1:06 That's what she said 🙌🏽
It would be awesome if they did a live photo unveiling in theatres around the world once they get all the data, color, so forth and ready to present.
I just found out about this telescope and I already can't wait to see the photos, imagine the people who worked on it their whole careers, damn. Very exciting.
All these tech and bright minds behind them, yet we still have flat-earthers lmao. 😂
We live in a freemason society, until you sheeps realize that u will continue to believe what is spoon fed to you .

Thankfully they are confined within the borders of that craze-fest called the U S of A
I am one of the engineers that helped build this, and I gotta say we are proud and happy to finally unravel the mysteries of the universe.
Yeah me too
Yeah, me too
Hopefully everything goes well with that sail thing unfurling correctly 😬🤞🏼
Yeah me too
I built the gold part too.
Finally launch day is about to come. I am very excited to see more deeper in the universe.
Good luck James Web from Pakistan.
I hope it explodes :)

@VIKRAM SINGH brother where in Quran did written that earth is flat ?
Tell me in which chapter ?
Have you ever read Quran ?
@VIKRAM SINGH lol, and you think that cows are holy.
I remember a series of space magazines that came in the newspaper back in 2003 and back then it said JWST was due to launch in 2011. How time flies.
I am not a smart guy and perhaps most of us watching here are not. Just have to give my thanks to all those who pursue science and dedicate their lives for the betterment of our universe.
Qué orgullo da ver a una española, la Dra. Vila, a la cabeza de semejante proyecto científico
oui pablo
The USA truly is the land of opportunity.
Isn't it ironic that if we ever found another earth-like planet it would be so far away that we couldn't ever visit it.
We’d be able to visit it in the future
Sublime yes but ironic no
The amount of gold used to cover the beryllium mirrors amounts to the size of a golf ball. Just amazing.
41 grams of gold. Worth $2378 in today's value.
Nice.
@@jong9379 Nice.
We’re going to be 60-70 years old seeing images from this on tv like oh yeah I remember watching that video when it was on RUclips
some of us are 60-70 years old ....and I remember borrowing a telescope from my teacher, and seeing Sputnik in orbit passing overhead..
No one wants to say it but what if the rocket explodes on launch? I assume there's no 10 billion dollar backup
@@caseymoore4759 It's supposed to last 10 years but may become more limited between 5-10 as it's orbit degrades. It can also be remotely adjusted and possibly refueled if that tech becomes available in 10 years.
@@Adam-xf3ko would it be worth 10 billion to develop a refueling program that keeps it up 10 more years? If so developing that technology suddenly became much more lucrative
Aged well
@@shairabosi4969 i was genuinely curious but ok.
Ever heard term "Risk"
Why do we believe "life" in space would need the same things we do? Don't organism adapt to their environment, ocean life being one example?
Ye but as far as we know there are some basic things life would need, but we really don't know
We have to search on base of what we know that life is.
It’s arrogance.
looking for another planet to live on
Exactly my thoughts
I did a research presentation in college on JWST back in 2016, and I remember waiting until 2018 for the launch and delay after delay it’s really exciting to see this project come together and now to wait and see what new things we can learn about the universe
It is not "French Guyana" . This land was stolen from The First Nation
excited for this
Very. 🖖
This telescope will be amazing.
I love how different countries come together to build space machines, I wish we could do this with world hunger.
I hate living in 2021 until i see stuff like this. Simply amazing. Imagine if nasa had our military budget or at least a PIECE of it. This is truly humantys best work
Just took my daughter to the Hayden a few days ago. It was amazing.
Considering the extremely delicate nature of the solar foil on it I have to wonder how NASA plans to protect it and/or deal with micrometeorites putting holes in it
It has a shield
This is none of your concern. NASAs team is working hard on this matter.
@@mookiechreo1653 he is just wondering. What is wrong about asking questions?
Who are these people who don’t care to explore the universe? Imagine your life’s perspective only revolving around earthly matters
Small minded people that's who they are.
It's are finite nature that makes our personal health seemingly more important for some. Cancer, COVID19 etc.
@@xaviermagnate
But it’s not really an either/or situation.
I've been waiting on the JWST for a long time, hope it goes off without a hitch.
How to keep it that cold. What an incredible instrument.
Its actually mindblowing 😮.The universe is:
1- infinite and expanding or
2- infinite and shrinking or
3- not infinite. If so what's around it?
It’s infinite and expanding, like the US national debt.
Yeah i don't really understand how an infinite universe can expand those very words are contradictary to me bc what is expanding into lol, more universe ?? Isn't the word 'uni'verse incluvise of everything in existence, or is there a new definition lol. I think the only way something can be infinite is if it's cyclical. Like energy for example, can't be created or destrpyed, it just exist, and transmutates into different forms for the rest of eternity.. kinda triippy when you actually dawn on it.
Get comfortable with the idea of “we don’t know”. It’s accurate and honest.
how long until we start seeing the first images from this beast?
Enhorabuena, Dra. Vila! España puede enorgullecerse del progreso cientifico logrado hasta la fecha! 💃🇪🇸
porque?
I am so freaking excited!!! Thankfully the launch went well, but now we need for the shield deployment, calibration etc to go well over the next few weeks/months. I’ve been waiting for this for so long and am beyond thrilled to see what we discover in the coming years. 💚
This is so exciting. I imagine the line up of scientists wanting time with JWT is quite long. Looking forward to all the discoveries heading our way.
NASA has already started a list. The people who were directly involved with the logistics, engineering and building of the JWST get on list first. Each person on the list gets 100 hours with the telescope. But I'm not sure how many people will be on it cause that would be a very long list. The JWST was designed and built to only last 10 yrs in space.
I absolutely cannot wait to see the pics as a result of this awesome telescope
It will just be CGI cartoons. No actual photos because this is all BS
imagine looking so far with that telescope that we see light of another universe, another reality, and thus another earth, haha, eek....
Well we’ve already seen thousands of galaxies. You can search for the picture
It's open and fragile design looks vulnerable to asteroids hits. Any thoughts?
Langrange point 1 is the destination right? I am not sure, but I do not believe that there are asteroids there. I could be wrong. I guess an asteroid could enter that space at any time?
I’d imagine the odds of an object colliding with the telescope in that area of space is very very low
the odds of an asteroid hitting it is next to nothing. very very very slim chance just due to the vastness of space. probably smaller odds than getting pooped on by a bird when youre walking down the street.
It's not within Earth's orbit so it doesn't have to worry about any orbital debris, and with how far out it is the chances of it getting hit by anything is pretty slim. The Hubble telescope in comparison was hit by rogue debris that slightly interfered with its instruments every few years mainly because of how close it was to the earth. The Webb probably won't have to deal with that, but if it did get hit it probably wouldn't be good xD.
@@julianperez185 it has to also travel unprotected to L2 for a few days before hanging out there. This concers me
I would love reporters stop asking "Why does it matter?" when we are making progress in space exploration technology,
why don't they ask that to the Religious people.
Have they discovered something new in the last 100 years?
Nope. If organized religions had their way, we'd all be living in the dark ages still, discovering nothing.
Does Galileo ring a bell
5:44 for the "regular person living on Earth" I'd say she or he is about to see the most stunning images made from outer space in human history, and this in itself may help create an interest in science, through awe and fascination that "regular person" would never access otherwise.
Have been seeing this thing being built up in documentaries for years. Finally 😁
Can't wait for the images this will give us !!
There are some truly amazing people on this planet 🙌🏻What an achievement 👏🏻 . You should all be so proud of yourselves.
I have heard 1:06 in another context before...
NASA, Northrop Grumman and beyond? How about the ESA and CSA?
Don't want to mess with the America #1 narrative...
They are important but play a lesser role. ESA created the NIRSpec instrument, the Optical Bench Assembly of the MIRI instrument and is running the launch from their platform. The Canadians made some of the actual 'camera' gear. Northrop is the primary contractor and of the 10 billion dollars about 9.3 billion is from NASA.
Are you one of those guys who is like 'because the Red Tails flew a few missions in WW2 then we would have lost the war without them' kinda guys? Lol.
@@hubertcumberdale2651 are you one of those guys who thinks recognizing your partners is irrelevant?
@@Adam-xf3ko I get your point, but you can just say "with the help of esa and the csa" or even longer instead of only mentioning the American parts. Or "with some international collaboration" or something. When you only mention you own countries and not including the other main helpers, it is kinda... Douchey for the lack of words. It definitely enforces the american stereotype.
4:48 needs to be sampled
Love how they "know" that the first stars were huge and exploded and somehow created everything... So what came before the stars if matter can't be created or destroyed?
kid you’re just asking the wrong questions
Pay attention to the video it tells you
@@chumcity Could you tell me how they got there seeing as I missed it in the video?
It wasn’t a star that explored. The Big Bang is the expansion of space time itself. Stars didn’t come into existence for I believe hundreds of millions of years.
@@peaceinpresence5538 so what created the big bang?
That 10 billion would have been better spent building a mega big statue of the creator of the universe ZEUS
Or Fortnite skins
I hope they do one of those deep fields like they did with Hubble that showed us all the galaxies.
Won't look as spectacular in the infrared though.
@@azieldaly2965 It is not "French Guyana" . This land was stolen from The First Nation
I live in the era of the James Web Telescope!
Great achievement
Salute NASA
Excited to be alive for this and hope I still am by the time it sends pictures back to us
So like 30 days or so. Hang tight for a little over a month
This is very exciting and another step forward for humanity into learning more about the universe! but as far as other life potentially being found, there are protocols NASA has to follow for those discoveries and sorry to say the government wont let us know anything it doesn't want us to. But other than that, can't wait to hear and see the other discoveries!
Huge accomplishment for humanity
If this telescope works and getting a tattoo of every new star it finds on my ass
1:06 that's what she said!!
Well this is the best vice news content I’ve seen in a long time. Good job, hope this thing works after all that went into it. Billions of dollars and thirty years of work, it would suck to see it turn into a piece of space junk.
Everyone- Excited

Stephen Hawkins has warned that searching the cosmos might reveal much higher forms of life then ourselves. In which case, our troubles might be over..... forever.
My mom works at Northrop Grumman I was able to see the telescope in person it was awesome
I typically like to sleep in on my Christmas mornings, but this year, the alarm is set to wake up for the launch!
Wake me up too, please lol
@@jeshkam I will try my best! Lol
1:06 Thats what she said
Damn James Webb got some solid gold balls.
All that work. Would be tragic if they left the lense cap on.
The speed of light should have been much faster for this huge universe. Such a shame we are stuck to 300000 km per second
Yeah it does absolutely blow my mind how we have the capability to see the very galaxies that formed universe!
@@peaceinpresence5538 the universe has always been here, galaxies come and go :)
0:06 "next week" it is litery the day after upload December-25-2021.
I think they recorded this video a while back.
The pictures we've seen from Hubble have been amazing , just imagine the pictures from the James Webb telescope
I was thinking the same while they were showing the pictures of space during the video.
@@sedanwheel4146 be in much more detail too
It will be all red shifted. Webb is designed to look only in the infrared. Can better tell what a planets atmosphere is when it passes infront of its hosts star. So we will start getting a lot more planets that may be habitable to life as we know it.
@@UnderGroundMerlin that's true however most of the population is mostly gonna look at the edited colourised images.
*talks about JWST's infrared capabilities, and the unimaginable distances of spacetime involved*
*simultaneously shows a bunch of visible length images, many from our own goddamn galaxy, just for eye candy, with little regard to the actual topic*
If telescope catches a planet with other life does this mean the life would have existed Millions of years ago and is not currently actually existing......in the now on earth......who can answer that question
yeah you're right - we're looking at old light, so if we find biosignatures it's ancient too. Whether or not that biosignature persisted into the current time is something we can't know because of the light lag.
It won’t be able to confirm the existence of life on another planet. It will be able to collect data that indicates the composition of atmospheres of other planets that in turn indicates if the conditions are favorable for life. There is a possibility of the telescope detecting artificial light sources on the night side of planets, but there would probably still be some uncertainty.
As for your question about the time difference, it will depend on the distance of the object being studied. If it is 10 light years away, it is looking 10 years back in time. As for objects millions of light years away, yes it’s looking millions of years back in time. However, I’m under the impression that it will be studying galaxy sized objects at those super long ranges a million light years away. The planet studies will be around stars much closer.
If we did see “life” it could possibly be already gone because of the delay. Still would be groundbreaking if we did though
We've entered the realm of science fiction that we've created a telescope so powerful, it can see through space and time.
What a trip.
