I am happy to have been a small part of this project making the mirrors at Coherent in California. This will surely be something to share with my grandchildren.
That's so damn cool, no matter how minor of a part you had, you had a part. More than I can say. Me and my 6 year old son are following it closely regardless.
We got a proverb in turkish "have salt in the soup" it doesnt matter how minnor thing youve done YOU DID YOUR PART thank you for that
Hats off to you sir
However small a part it was, it was a part of one of the greatest steps in the history of man. So excited to see these images come in.
Wow. That is certainly something to be proud of. The mirrors are definitely no small part! You should be very proud and thanks for your contribution to humanity :D
I woke up so depressed on Xmas, but after seeing the headline that this fella was successfully launched, I felt like a little kid again. This kinda stuff really makes my life worth living, and society seem worth it. Here's to NASA, ESA, and CSA 🥂
Sorry you felt depressed, Orange. Hang in there -- the universe is vast and full of beautiful mysteries -- you've got to stay tuned to learn more about them. Here's to the JWST, that kid-like feeling, and to a happier 2022/Xmas for you. *hugs*
Have you tried helping someone lately, if not, give that a try, that helps you as well.
I felt like a kid again too! I remember Hubble launching (and then getting fixes) way back and was very excited since it was so insanely cool for bedrock astronomy. Webb is even better, MUCH better.
Also, maybe seek some professional help, I am serious.
I know how you feel. There isn't much going right or to get excited about now I check my phone everyday to see how Webb is going and I am so happy all those folks got it right I am excited! Hang in there 🍊.
Even if it is just a video, I am biting my nails looking at all the things that have to work perfectly to deploy the telescope "nominally". This end of the year is going to be full of excitement, no doubt.
I feel like everything probably works as-intended. I'm more worried about it getting up there in an as-intended state with the rigors and stresses of a launch to allow it to work as-intended.
literally same
You’re welcome

keep editing the date
Yeah uh it just got delayed again pal
lol yeah edit that sheeet

A perfect launch, flawless insertion burn/separation (congrats ESA), deployment of the solar panels so its has a reliable power source, and the High Gain antenna has been properly deployed for communications as well - excellent work by NASA to date: a truly good Christmas present to science and the world.
so much tech coming together in 1 satellite its good to see cooperation at its finest. If we want this world to work in the future we must have more of this :)
so exciting I can't wait to learn what planned and unplanned insights come from this mission
Don't forget CSA!
ESA💪
@Xavier Foisset we are there!
It is mind blowing how far we (humanity) have gone. This telescope is the pinnacle of engineering, I look at it in awe. I just cannot comprehend how scientists could put this together.
This Christmas will always be remembered, I am proud to be the part of this.
Congratulations to whoever have contributed to this HUUUUUUUGE project.
Fingers crossed for the seamless launch.
To come this far and then find a habitable planet we could get to but then wipe eachother out b4 we get there. Humans......smh. 😢
You are not part of this? You're mearly an observer...
Go Webb Go!
Yes. How far we have gone in less than 75 years of space exploration... 😁👍👌
It WAS a pinnacle of engineering when it was designed and made, perhaps. It's spent a lot of years in storage after the launch was delayed many times. At least a few parts would be more modern if it hadn't been delayed so long... and yes, I know that older tech is good anyway because it's "space-hardened" and many newer items aren't appropriate for deployment in the harsh environment of space.
This project is a testament to the determination of humans to look beyond our terrestrial realm and venture beyond to the origins of time. But the human engineering here is astounding and should be recognized as a joint international effort for the good of mankind. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this a reality. Cannot wait to see the fruits of your labors.
If there's one thing humans have been consistently good at throughout the ages, it's observation. 🔬🔭🚀
I'm old enough to have watched with wide eyes through my life mans fascination and journey through space. From Sputnik through JWST. I want to live to be 1000 years old to see where we go from here!
Show us the stars James!
I'm 42, vividly rememeber hubble's launch and journey, and when one like this goes up I wonder how many more things like this I'll see before it's all over. Hope I last a while longer.
The music might be calming but it all still sets off my anxiety lol
I'm here a month later to announce a perfect launch. Webb is on its way to beyond the moon, a million miles from Earth. This is such a great Christmas present!
Thank you friend, agreed.
Will the images it produces have little hexagonal lines in them?
@@Pozenboot No. The hexagons are mirrors that focus the light onto yet more mirrors where it's focused further. The massive hexagon mirrors don't 'take' the picture.
Should be “its” not “it’s”. Sorry, the Grammar Guy.
@@dwightchambers4182 😂, you're right
I've been keeping loose track of this thing since they started building it. Feels like I've been waiting forever. This video doesn't give justice to the scale of this marvel of science. Can't wait to see what we're able to discover.
probably more sharper images of galaxies, nothing else
@@skvlog6230 are you serious? this is far superior to hubble. both in just imagery and in the tools it carries. it will do far more than just have sharper images.
@@skvlog6230 It's capable of viewing more wavelengths of light than the hubble. There's no telling what it will see.
@@skvlog6230 Sharper images of galaxies, exoplanets potentially imaged, and on top of that we can potentially see the first stars that ever existed in the universe.
This is the most sophisticated machine ever launched into space by mankind. Not only by a little bit, but by the biggest margin ever.
It’s truly a masterpiece of engineering.
@@DrPlans they complement each other. JWST can see just infra red light, while Hubble see other wave lengths.
And Hubble will still be around taking pictures when JWST shuts down.
OMG! The sun shield is now fully - AND SUCCESSFULLY - deployed! And the secondary mirror is fully deployed, leaving just the primary mirror and the mirror segments to be deployed. This is truly miraculous what NASA, ESA and the CSA have accomplished! I know that the results of all of these years of hard word are going to pay off well beyond everyone's wildest dreams! CONGRATULATIONS NASA/ESA/CSA! Job well done!
Im praying it will be competed without issues!!!! I cant wait to see those photos
Aft radiator deployed
Some days I'm really not happy to be a member of the human race due to the headlines I see that show the negative side of human nature. Some days I watch the progress of this endeavor and my chest fills up, even if just a little bit. Thanks you ESA, CSA & NASA for giving me a chance to see the positive side of human nature for a change. Excellent work and I look forward to seeing the results of the hard work of many fine people in the months and years to come!
Have you ever noticed that when there is monumental space news the world is watching? The moon landing, Apollo 13, the Martain rovers. For one brief moment we come together and celebrate. I'm a non-drinker but I'll raise my coffee to NASA, ESA, CSA and all the people that work to keep my dreams BIG.
I second that wholeheartedly. Here's to the hope that science provides when we need it most. Happy New Year!
I am so happy to read about this awesome deployment of the James Webb telescope, largest space telescope built to date that carries a price tag of over $10 billion with its lense 2 to 3 times larger than the Hubble! I can imagine what a nerve wracking task it must have been, from build to launch. Congratulations all who have made this possible.
One aspect of an incredible program like this, that one rarely hears or reads about, is the jobs this has created. And I mean those requiring super-high mechanical, mathematical, and theoretical minds as well as those people in peripheral support positions and those who drill holes and install fasteners and rigging. Trust me, having worked in deep secrecy on the B-2 this isn't something you "just walk up and do". A real tribute to Northrop Grumman and all the subcontractors on the team who had to work in secrecy, unable to discuss much detail about this incredible machine with family and or friends. The gifts Webb will bring to our planet are going to be immense. While we're not quite there yet, well done!!
Hello, I was reminded that I wanted to watch this video again because the release of the new pictures. I read your comment and was curious, why did they have to work in such secrecy? Was it an ITAR thing due to sensitive "dual use" technologies?
@@jeffbenton6183how else could it be shielded from attack or scrutiny, etc?
@@jeffbenton6183All those working on the JWST were wearing full body protective gear with masks and gloves hands and feet, for one thing. 😊
@@knowwankeno1de1witdelongna85 Like so many spacecraft, they were wearing masks and "bunny suits" to make sure that no dead skin cells and other small particles get into the sensitive components. I'm not sure what you're getting at. Maybe I'm just dense.
@@jeffbenton6183 it’s not really a secret. “They” have to do it in isolation away from the public and with protective bunny suits yes. That’s the answer...
The first video regarding jwst was uploaded 11 years ago...11....I'm only 5 years older than jwst.....it's just so fascinating thinking about the time it took and now it's gonna be a reality....Good luck NASA. Fingers crossed 🤞 everything goes good.
Hope you heard it had a successful launch. Yes, I'm very happy too about it. Now, just because you're younger, doesn't mean you're not capable of great things. Who knows? You might be the next great Astronomer or brilliant Physicist that will solve things mankind has wondered about for generations. Just stay in school, work hard, and set high goals.
Here after sunchield completely deployed! Good work humans! :)
Best Christmas present this decade for sure!
Isn't it a piece of art ?
Transcended technics, Art in fact.
Incredible unexpected presence in the midst of nothing.
This Nothing out of which we have emerged, on our tiny Earth-vessel floating somewhere behind .. in the nowhere.
Fantastic to get to this stage. I spent seven years of my career working on the MIRI instrument.A fantastic privilege to be involved in this wonderful project.
Greetings from Skye - it really was the best fun ever...
It was a privilege to work in such a harmonious multi-national team with everyone bringing their A-game.
Respect to all the engineers who designed and built this complex piece of origami. I'm amazed all the deployments have gone so well.
Thank you, Cousin Robert Linza for your work on the James Webb Space Telescope. You are one of our country's latest heroes. I helped 52 1/2 years ago to get the men on the moon but my part was not anywhere as significant as what you have done. Congratulations!!!
What did you do on Apollo?
Both of you are important to science and humanity
When you think that most of the systems have to work in extreme cold...this is amazing engineering!
after surviving being violently shaken during launch. The level of complexity in JWST is mind blowing.
Truly incredible that even some of the tech HAS to be extremely cold to work properly! Most fascinating and such a wonderful testament to our scientists’ ingenuity
congrats on the launch success, may this process run smoothly towards few days ahead
The biggest thing I'm worried about tho is space debris punching holes through the sun shield membrane.
@@Pacowaka4045 by the time the membrane deploys the telescope will be plenty far enough away from earth to avoid all space debris, micrometeoroids are the biggest worry for the sunshield,nasa engineers have thought of this issue however.
12 days after launch it's our mirror's turn to deploy...we are so excited!
I am so happy to have worked on this beautiful telescope. As project manager for the sun shield at the Godard Laboratory in Texas, it was such a pleasure watching the launch. I can't wait to find out so much more about our amazing universe.
Wow, the project manager is also an RL GC!
@@clarkmckenzie8198 I know, I'm kind of a big deal.
I doubt you are -- James Cooper, JWST Sunshield Manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center located in Maryland.
@@terrymichael5821 I concur - the project manager would not mis-spell Goddard...
Thank you everyone involved... what a great time to be alive! I will be following the rest of the deployments and I cannot wait for the first images of this beauty to come through! I feel proud to be a human -- Thank you all
Happy the JWST deployment has been good so far. I'll also note there aren't that many non-fiction technical illustration videos with over 1M views!
Congratulations. So happy that the launch was successful today on 12-25-2021. This was a Christmas Present to the Astronomy Community and to all of mankind. Again, congrats JWST !!!
The launch occurred on 2021-12-25 or 12/25/2021. There is no valid date-time format such as you used.
Watching every hour to how far the James Webb has travelled and other stats. I loved the Cassini mission but this one is also super awesome!
Ya, ditto, it's on my homescreen. Amazing the flawless deployment of such a delicately-made machine, over 600mi out in space! Congrats to those who dare to dream!
Got a tape measure out to really get a visual sense of how big the mirror assembly is. 21'4". In our case, the straight line distance from our front door to the mantle of the fireplace. A circle with that diameter is freaking huge. I have a 10-inch home-built scope that easily shows the rings of Saturn, Jupiter's bands, globular clusters of stars, etc. It's mirror has an area of just over 314 square inches.
JWST's mirror has an area of about 205,887 square inches! That's 656 times the light gathering capacity--and it won't be peering through a fuzzy atmosphere. How I envy the pros lining up for first light through that scope!
If the history of space exploration has taught us anything, it is that we should expect to be repeatedly surprised by the unimagined.
golden comment. 💫
Actually, it does not catch "visible" light. It is much more sensitive to other sources than you might believe.
Yup,ya got me, I had to get the tape measure out and see it for myself! WOW
@@Dead-people-dont-drink-water My feelings exactly. WOW. If this goes according to plan it's going to knock our socks off!
A great comment! I agree the area of the JWST is just massive, but you may be a bit out on the area of your 10" telescope, I can't see how it could have an area of just over 314 square inches? Doesn't a 10" mirror circle equal 78.54 square inches, using a 5" radius? which would make the JWST 2,621 times the mirror size of your 10" scope, over 4 times your figure!
I don't think I've been this excited about a launch since the manned moon launches or the early shuttle launches!
Seeing the Falcon Heavy's boosters back themselves into their parking spaces in unison was pretty damned awesome though.
Agree completely!
Gods this is so fucking cool, this is literally the greatest scientific collaboration and achievement in human history, this thing will be shitting out more Nobel prizes than Cern and MIT combined.
The only people allowed to NOT be completely in awe of this mission reside on the other side of the dirt! As of 03:20 UTC on Thursday, December 30, 2021 this mission has been flawless!
It will change how we see the universe and maybe how we see ourselves.
A unique and great time to be alive.
Greetings from the west of Ireland 🇮🇪
Beatiful science and technology behind Webb`s deployments, it is amazing the number of nanomotors, pulleys and nanotech. The precision requires and the synchronism achieved by electronics and controllers is incredible. The stages for deploying the sun shield is a particular engineering success
The deployment of the sun-shield was the only occurence of a single-point failure. It occured at the completion of the deployment. There was a set of switches which were to be tripped to signal that the shield was fully extended. They didn't trip. After a few worried hours the concern was resolved with confirmation that the shield temperatures were all nominal - which meant that the shield must have deployed fully.
I’ve been keeping an eye on this channel for years and it’s so incredibly exciting. I got goosebumps watching this video. This beautiful masterpiece ❤️
Same here. The time of discovery and the unlocking of the next mysteries is drawing near! 🔮
what? How come you're not playing with make up? lol just kidding mam
I am so excited for the JWST to begin sending back data once fully deployed at L2. But, I am SO NERVOUS praying everything unpacks correctly. I have faith in the NASA engineers, however there could be unknowns which could.... I won't jinx it by saying anything else.
After waiting for this to launch for YEARS, I am holding my breath now. I check the progress every day. Cautiously optimistic!
Been waiting for over 16 years for this. I'm very excited about this.
I've lived to see Derek Jeter, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, the Hubble Telescope, the Spitzer Telescope - and now with the James Webb Telescope deploying, I can say I have lived in a truly amazing time in human history.
Derek Jeter shouldn't be on that list.
You missed 'Judge Judy' off your list LOL
Replace Jeter with Ohtani and you got something. Also Messi, Ronaldo and Brady.
I am so excited I can't STAND it! We're going to see so much farther and clearer than ever before. What mysteries will be solved? What new mysteries will reveal themselves? Birthdays near the end of the month. Best Bday present ever lol.
Happy birthday. 🎂🎉
@@jshepard152 thanks
From now on, following this gorgeous beast of a machine will be my main reason to live
That is so beautiful it made me cry. It's a work of art! I am so looking forward to what Webb is going to show us in the coming years! Thanks to all the thousands of dedicated people who created this!
This has to be the biggest achievement of mankind to date.
The more you read about this thing, the more incredible it becomes! I just hope I’m still here to see the first images from it!
I saw the full size model of the JWST at SXSW a few years ago. it's astonishing in person.
I read "Seven Eves" and now I'm freaked out about bolides passing shredding the membranes and cracking the mirror.
How did this happen?? And how are there humans that even know how to make this happen?!
Gives me hope ❤️
I bet you there is not one human that know how to make it happen.
They all come together, then they know how to make it happen.
It takes 1000s of incredibly smart humans
With math deemed unnecessary and even racist today I have grave doubts about our ability in the future to improve much beyond where we are now as a country.
I cried tears of joy on Saturday morning, after more than two decades of anticipation, in wonder of the sheer beauty of what humans can do when we focus on our inclination toward curiosity and discovery rather than fear and hatred and jealousy.
Some perspective on the cost of JWST:
Nike had revenue of more than 17 billion dollars in 2021. In North America alone.
If we spent what we do on designer, name-brand clothing on science then we would live to be two centuries old by now.
Go Webb. Go!
The gov't estimates nearly $20 billion was spent on the development of the covid vaccine, more than your Nike quote - and look where we are in terms of global spread and mortality for a single type of (even unseeable) spore... I don't think we're anywhere near doubling the length of human life, considering we're exposed to probably 1000's and 1000's of contagions across a lifetime - and we can't even effectively solve one within 2 years on a global research scale.
If the covid virus taught us anything, it should be our human fallibility - we are often wrong about a lot of stuff, but we don't tend to perceive it that way. I think if we were more truthful with ourselves about being wrong, we might start heading in your direction of extended life - b/c our next steps would always be predicated on solid footing.
Look at the theory that an asteroid collided with the earth and killed the dinosaurs, no foundation in any kind of evidence - and usually even NASA will discuss the circumstance as an extinction level event... but they ignore the notion of even an unseeable virus could've spread quickly around the globe and knocked down the dinosaur orignally, just like covid has done to people now - and they had no ability to shelter in place and develop a cure. Had a pandemic hit life in the open ocean, and we couldn't done much about it... it's easy to see the possibility of it now, after we've seen it occur for ourselves.
NASA is lauching an asteroid impact avoidance system to avoid the potential of an impact event like what killed the dinosaurs - and we have no idea if that was even the case. They've been declaring there is life in space for more than 7 decades probably - despite absolutely zero evidence from research, exploration, and 10 million lightyear deepfield views from the last satellite that would supposedly tell us everything (ie: Hubble). Space is entirely violent toward the existence of life, we have an anticipated 8.7 million species living here on earth almost effortlessly - and yet NASA still believe zero is somehow a non-zero number?
This is an engineering marvel......can't wait for the launch day and the day it's deployed at L2. I wish there is a Twitch stream on this...
not twitch but here ya go ruclips.net/video/7nT7JGZMbtM/видео.html T-9 hours and counting!
25 Décembre 2021 : lancé !
;-)
This is the best Christmas Day present I could ever have wished for. I am beyond elated . Hallelujah!. I want to learn so much more about JWST.
I lost the video link at launch and had to continue on audio only - to hear 'nominal' repeated again and again in a French accent was sheer joy. I stopped working on JWST just before Christmas 2004 and am thankful to have lived long enough to savor these moments.
Wow, wow, wow!
Only from the USA!
Congratulations to all involved, from Auckland, New Zealand….
I salute all the persons on this amazing project, some of whom have worked on this for 30 years. And I believe the best is yet to come.
What a time to be alive! Go go go little JSWT we're following you
This is the crowning achievement of NASA.
With a little help from their friends...
The fact that there's so many moving parts meaning there's so many things that can go wrong, really worries me.
Don't. They now know very well how to avoid the metal self-welding which troubled past satellites - especially solar panels opening.
Plus, NASA has rehearsed the deployment of the JWST for the last ten years, in all possible conditions. I feel confident that it will reach L2, a million miles away from Earth.
Thanks.
Your message is reassuring🤞
I know, they have tested and tested again for a very long time, and they have experience going back to the 1960's lunar program (that's a lot of experience!).
@@rayoflight62 My guess it won’t all work and they will try/do workarounds.. 50/50 at best.. “Go for throttle up..”
The level of engineering 👏
cant wait for the universe origin data. go webb go. send us some light
Engineering and international collaboration 👏
This is fantastic and so promising. We look forward to seeing what we will discover thanks to this telescope.
Just watched the launch live. Hard part's over now for the harder part.
What a good time to be alive to be able to witness it
Crazy we are at the stage of sun shield boom port and starboard deployments!! Just those and tensioning and the sun shield will be fully deployed!! Go Webb Go!
This is really exciting to me here in New Zealand. 20 Billion is a small amount of money compared with the war coffers around the world. We are a murderous species, but just imagine how much we could achieve if we invested some of that money into projects like this repeatedly.
The total multi-decade price of JWST was 9.8 billion. The U.S. military spends more than that every 5 days.
It's always frightening seeing how many complex mechanical and electrical mechanisms have to work perfectly for this to deploy. The engineers much be sweating bullets until this thing is in position and operational.
You are fantastic, amazing! Congratulations to everyone at NASA from Brasil 🇧🇷
Nobody cares about Brazil!
@@Oly876 apparently you do, the ones I’ve met are great people.

@@Oly876 Clown.
That's a lot of sleepless nights for your team!!
I became really seriously hooked the first time I ever heard about “Extreme deep field”! It was pretty humbling to get a good indication of how colossal our universe really is! I will be front and center for the views from JW! Can’t wait! I am in awe of everyone who did their part to bring this amazing telescope to fruition!
Watching this video is kind of scary; it makes evident just how complex this beast is and how it cannot allow any hitches. I thought I was tense at the launch, but waiting to hear if all of these steps are working properly is nerve-wracking. If I were a scientist involved in this project I think I'd need either medication or meditation - perhaps both! - to deal with the stress of this op!
I think the most nail biting part of the deployment is definitely going to be the sun shield, which is going to start deploying around 5 days from now till around 10. Good to know that if everything is going fine two weeks from now, I think there would be not much left to worry about.
Like missing the injection burn for some random problem to the flight software xD
@@pisolo86 if this happens, I will return to this comment
@@aaronwillets1172 hopefully you will not :P
Go find some wood to knock on! ;^)
Yes, scary that approximately 150 devices have to be released.
Awe inspiring, congratulations to the scientists and engineers who brought this to reality, we live in amazing times.
This is so nicely done. Clear, concise. This is a great animation to direct people to view for an overall look at the deployment.
(edit .. June 13th.. I still come back to this every few weeks. Can hardly wait.)
Congratulations to all the scientists and engineers involved in the development and build of this great feat of engineering!. I for one cannot wait to see what we discover!.
Incredible! I love the engineering behind this
A truly incredible achievement. Can't wait to see the first set of images.
Me too
I’ve lost track on how many times I’ve watched this.
Of course so many people are excited and inspired by this incredible endeavor. Count me among them.
This reminds me of a flower glowing and blossoming. Kudos to the artists that arranged this.
It is incredible engineering, but also a beautiful piece of art!
Oh, it's so beautiful, look's like a miracle! In that's things humankind gives a hope that we can do anything when we work together!
The entire, multi-decade price of JW was 9.8 billion dollars. The ineffective U.S. military (that just got chased out of Afghanistan by a rag-tag enemy after 20 years of failure) spends more than that every 5 days! That tells you something about how misguided, wasteful, and useless the U.S. government’s spending priorities are.
I hope the JWT website will continue being online, i got so used to watch the Progress 😊 its an amazing Projekt, thanks to all who contribute, collaborate to make this happen
This is just amazing. Fingers crossed that all proceeds as planned and we get to see the amazing views into our universe that have so impressed us since Hubble launched. Congratulations NASA.
Really excited for this!
This achievement is beyond imagination ! We are blessed to have such scientists on earth !
This achievement hasn't been achieved - yet.
so amped up for this...cannot wait to see what's revealed that we never knew
Totally agree
Watched NPR for live coverage. Then BBC for more. This is beautiful. I am so fond of the Hubble telescope. Walked along the oceanfront asking people if they had watched the launch and then going in about it. This, and sighting three Geminid meteors this month. Astronomy heaven.
I'm very excited about the james webb space telescope.
I just love this project, too young to see hubble, really excited about it
Such good footage considering its in space! props to the drone operator
Been waiting for this beast of a camera for like an era feels like we both grew up together... Go Webb 🥳
Yes. Great infrared images are soon to come.
Hopefully everything will go as planned!
Bravo !!! Champagne pour tous !!! From ( France )
Einfach wunderbar, ich bin wirklich gespannt auf die Bilder, die es machen wird!!!
I hope it works but dam, that's a lot of places to go wrong. Not to forget its the first time it's been done in a true weightless environment.
It's being influenced by every other mass in the universe.
Men, by the power of design of their minds combined with the power of execution of their wills and a discipline of that will, have achieved wonders and more, useful. Useful for those who have done it, but also and above all useful for the whole of humanity. NASA is definitely the practical example.
Such an epic project, what a fantastic achievement.
Yes it is just amazing and the telescope is beautiful.
It's simply astonishing that we hope to see images dating back to just 500million years after the big bang, some 13 billion years ago. Its difficult to read this statement back and believe it may begin to happen in less than a month's time.
It would be awesome to send out a little camera probe a few months from now and take a picture of the galaxy reflecting off the primary mirror. The CGI looks good, but seeing the real thing would be marvelous.
Ten years from now, when it's run out of fuel and written off, sure why not, could be fun tourist destination. But until then, intentionally getting something whatever that close to it for no extremely good reason isn't a risk anyone might approve.
It's a huge Mix of Excitement and fear right now...🔥😱
🌞🌴🌴🌴🌴🍹🚀🌎🇫🇷
I can't believe this is happening NOW!! Engineers are on the edge. Thrilling. Good luck ✨
Nothing less than a miracle to execute this mission so flawlessly. Amazed. Everyone associated with mission can be proud.👍
