I honestly prefer unedited raw footage like this
Same. Leagues better than some affirmative action female narrator who does not even has an education in MINT (like on the NASA and JPL channels in the past). Also the raw videos tend to be more interesting than some press release version that is polished but dumbed down to the least common denominator.
i cannot agree more.
Same way i like my pornos 😅
@@hobbygaertner420 "insert comment" This is one of few places that I did not expect to encounter such dumb and racist comments but I guess it just goes to show that the trump inspired clan are pervasive! And oh "insert P.S." I also enjoyed the footage without narration.
@@benji7587 some minority got offended i think
In this video, I was privileged to be the Supplier inspector that was charged with watching every movement of each mirror and every operation on it to make sure that all safety procedures were read and then followed. That was my reflection in the mirror when it was flipped after coating to face the wall. I'm sure the NASA photographer was surprised to catch me in the shot.
Thanks for the insight!
So, burning question.
Does my bum look big in that?
Was gonna say your bum, but that's rude.
Cheers for your part in this.
Very cool. It must be amazing to follow the launch and deployment knowing your work is up there.
Did you use PVD to coat the mirrors ?
That was a nice shot hehe
My phone screen isn’t clean enough to show how clean that hexagon is lol
My heart is beating fast whenever they're moving the reflectors
The people who do these kind of jobs are SO meticulous. The amount of patience and precision is something I could never have.
Just imagine doing all this work to remove all dust and contaminates and then it gets dust on it while up in space
yeah you'd think this specific task wouldn't be performed by a human but rather a robot of some sort judging by the price tag of this whole mission.
That mirror is part of a $10 billion dollar project, I would say it's worth a couple million for sure and not just cause it's plated with a little bit of gold. I'd be having a heart attack playing with something that valuable, it almost makes sense why they go so slow and are so precise.
Are you generation TikTok? :D
@@melazmusic The human hand of a trained and sensitive person still beats any robot.
How must it feel to see your close up reflection in a mirror that will reveal the chemical composition of planets atmospheres orbiting stars in distant galaxies, peer right back to the furthest reaches of time and potentially unlock new laws of nature?
Sebastian Clarke wow
I'm still gonna feel fat.
If it ever launches .I've birthed children abs put them through college since I first heard of it lol. They landed on the moon quicker.
@@dadsonworldwide3238 A full 5% of our gross domestic product went into the Apollo mission. If we ever make such a huge science mission, it should be in climate change and asteroid defense.
Assuming it even works properly if it ever gets finished in the next 10 years
This B-roll footage is great. Please upload more.
I hear this was shot with a camera made out of b-rollium.
What a chamber!
My dad coated the hubbles main mirror!
These technicians will have a story to tell their family for generations!
Definitely :)
Having a Dad working on this must be worth some serious flexing. I wish you and yours all the best.
To the James Webb Space Telescope Channel Representative, WE LOVE THIS AND WE WANT MORE. Thank you very much.
+10000000
Agree, more B roll footage please!!
I am from the future. Today the telescope has successfully completed its major deployments in space !
A great day for the solar system
This really gives a good idea as to the size of this telescope ( it's huge!) and it's mind blowing how much work went into it. I didn't know anything about Webb until the launch, but have been following it's progress intently. Can't wait for the first pictures to come back. What a marvellous creation, everyone involved has my gratitude and admiration.
You skipped a lot of the anxiety then :D
Many of us have been following its progress... for what feels like centuries.
It's amazing that it has so far done so well after launch. So many points of failure.
These are the best videos, without annoying music and narration. The clip speaks for itself.
This is the hardest window cleaning job i've ever seen
Being someone that's used to work in mirror and anti reflective coating for almost 6 years. Knowing how absolutely important it is to make sure that your medium (your material to be mirrored or coated) has to be absolutely spotless to avoid having voids on the mirror. Also the cleanliness of the machine itself can cause issues. You're dealing with nanometers of thickness one of the layers I worked with was only .53 of a nanometer. I can appreciate the amount of work that this team did because I know how meticulous you have to be to create such flawless coatings. And just the amount of coating knowledge needed to operate such a machine.
Nothing but respect for the dedicated scientists that worked on these mirrors. Using 30 towels to clean the surface of one mirror must be super nerve wracking.
Those mirrors are absolutely beautiful.
@@blackieblack great joke
First decent reason I've had to clean my monitor in a while.
Damn, you're right
Get that monitor as clean as Webb's primary mirrors.
Can you just imagine the A-roll footage??😍😍
When do they start making the chocolate?
🤣 underrated comment right here
Read this comment right after starting the video and didn't get the joke. Then I saw it..
Willy wonka
HAHA CUZ THEY LOOK LIKE UMPA LOOMPAS
@@gabeross9745 No its cuz the gold foil on the mirror looks like a chocolate wrapper.
Every aspect of this project seems so extreme and precise to insane degrees of accuracy. It feels like it shouldn't even be possible, but here we are in 2022 and JWST has launched, deployed and on its way to L2 :). You guys are beyond incredible.
Ah, the discoveries it will make makes me overwhelmed and excited but at the same time gives chills down my spine🤯😨
5:08 "Mirror mirror on the wall - Who has the cutest fur of them all?"
All this delicacy and it still has to go through one hell of a ride to orbit!
And I thought it was tedious getting air bubbles out of a patterned window cover. 🤦🖖 This is so exciting. Can't wait until March of '21
lmao 'march of 21' aged badly didnt it
@@spacekitt.n sad horn noise
-doing footage on the most high tech mirror
-uploads in 720p.
scientists are like that more often than not.
This RUclips channel was created ten years ago😳 and the telescope is yet to launch. Amazing
good news!
Absolutely love this kind of footage. ~I need more
This is how i clean my mirrors every week
Even a mirror of that size on earth in a telescope would be INSANE. Can’t imagine the images this telescope is gonna take.
The telescope has 18 of this panels to create the equivalent approximately of one fucking big telescope :)
@@0xf7c8 yes, but it gone by in the space free of the distortion and filter of the atmosfer, that mean much more ligth in the mirror than a similar telescope in Earth, also this one can "see" infrared ligth , so its a unique instrument
@@noway8233 I knew all of this but thanks
The tiny tardigrade which still was on the mirror:- 👋🏻 *YOU CAN'T SEE ME!*
it is incredible and amazing to make that mirror with precision and electronic accuracy
The floor in this room is shinier than anything you'll find at my house.
Such precious work… amazing.
Thank you for posting this :)
RUclips recomended me this video just a week before its launch, Amazing to see how far it has come in just over 2 years.
What a piece of work
Anyone else nervous just watching them?
Yes, I cought myself holding my breath a few times.
Me on the job
Screw everthing
Glass crack
Pretend to be okay
All coworker just little disapointmen
I go to house
Lock door
Drink heavily
Burn house
While i on it
Wow. I love this footage so much! Very intresting. Thank you
this is gold, more plz
The mirror looks so clear I feel like I can walk straight into it.
First time seeing this. My heart sank when the mirror started going upside down.
The pucker factor must be tremendous in a job like these dudes.
"Where's your white bunny suit?"
"It's in the laundry. This was all I had."
"This mirror's ruined, you know that, right?"
Precise cleanest work.
This is GOLD!
Professionals at work!!
i just love the fact that this stuff is done by hand
Jesus just the care and precision required to handle this device to look upon the heavens is astonishing!can’t wait to see the pictures
I've never seen a process so meticulously and carefully controlled.
Simply amazing.
I cant wait till the first images roll in
Just amazing.. please upload more.!!
Amazing !
Thanks for those insights. Very real and mind-blowing amazing at the same time 👏🚀💡👍
beautiful mirrors😍
The precision of that mirror is remarkable.
It's so nice to know that all of the brilliance and care, the ceaseless concentration on building this thing... Paid the eff off. It works!!!
The cleanest mirrors in the history of mirrors.
That has to be the biggest vacuum sputter chamber I've ever seen, ik it might not be exactly that but I've seen similar coating processes on the small scale and it's insane to see such a large object get coated so perfectly
Thanks for telling me the name of such a chamber, I just went on a google spree and found out what sputters were, haven't heard about it before. Vacuum sputters with the help of a Magnetron was definitely something new for me and really cool to read about!
@@TheFaarf yeah I've been researching using this technique to make inconel coatings, hard part is getting the inconel hot enough to dipose onto your substraight
I'd think company's like TSMC would have larger ones just for pure production numbers
Do you think this was sputtering or evaporation? Sputtering would give a denser film but also gold has a nasty preference for island growth that I think you might avoid with evaporation.
@@tykjpelk yeah it's probably atomic layer deposition using heat, I'm trying to find out if the same can be done with inconel to coat high performance engine components
It's beautiful!
This guys are professional Handy Display Cleaner
Im so excited
Awesome! FEED ME MOOOORE!
0:39 - "I have 2 PhD degrees, 35 years of searching and I end up cleaning a mirror?"
do not breath watching this!
Cannot wait!
amazing
Love it🙌🏻
Keep it up, nice video clip, thanks for sharing it :)
Que projeto exepcional.
Talk about precision!
That fact that that just one of its mirrors, gives you a sense of how big this telescope is , I can’t wait to here what data James Webb Telescope gets
4:58 The final boss reveal.
leaving a spec of dust on there would be much worse than the dust under your display protection xD can't wait for those images!
Looks clean
This is what perfection called.
I think you get a few more than 7 years bad luck if you drop that one...
Stanley Dodds...... Ha.
Fired possibly used as fuel for launch lol
Stanley Dodds
7 years in the state penitentiary...
At first i tought it was being coated by hand and i was like WTF.
I cannot wait for the first cool image.
Amazing
Perfecting Perfection.
At a party:
Person: What do you do?
Me: I clean mirrors at NASA.
Cleaning mirrors is something I could really see myself doing.
technical correct
I wonder if the LUVOIR telescope will get the green light? Should be Webb's successor. Probably can only fit on Starship though.
i wish there was narration to whats happening, this is absolutely fascinating
´can’t wait for the launch.
That's a great mirror right there.
That was therapeutic.
Bad ass! So,so so,Cant wait for this. Dont break it guys,i mean it!!
I love this video but I wish there was a link to something explaining what they were doing at the end
Godspeed James Webb!! 🌎🌍🌏
This looks great. Thanks for sharing. A bit more description would be nice. Where was it made? What kind of deposition method was used? Is that a giant sputtering machine?
This is just B-roll, not an edited feature. You can learn more about our mirror coatings if you scroll down on this page, and there is a Behind the Webb video feature: jwst.nasa.gov/content/observatory/ote/mirrors/index.html
I'm freakin hype about the JWST and for this I love America
Damn. All of this effort and years of perfecting even the simplest tasks depending on a few minutes rocket flight that can go really wrong.
Good thing the chance of a launch failure is really low these days for NASA.
It dit not :)
So satisfying. 😇
Woooo look at that sexy impossibly thin gold coating!
cannot wait to see the images that JWST can produce
NASA Engineer Parent: This is how we clean things at work.
Child: I still don't want to clean my room.
looks like fun
Why was I holding *MY* breath while the scientist was wiping every speck of dust from it? 😳🥵
Using ultraviolet light to check the mirrors on an infrared telescope. I LOVE the future.
