Looking forward to seeing what the JWST discovers in the coming decades. So much science depends on a successful launch/deployment.

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

With all the space debris that has everyone concerned has anyone ever thought about remote control return of the rest of the rockets? I know that the launch has occurred

🥰 And 🤯🤯

[@Angie.Globetrotter]

Can you visit Kourou ?

[@thisisnotajoke]

ahem...
4+ minute video, 1+ minute "outro", 1+ minute about JWST (which has nothing to do with the video description).
So that leaves about 2 minutes for the actual subject, where not much was explained or highlighted about Korou, its surroundings and most of all the spaceport. Really? I would have expected the individual launch sites for Ariane 5/6, Vega and Soyuz to be highlighted, as well as the still visible historic launch sites.

Why do we never see Antarctica from space?

[@kornaros96]

It's upon you
