I for 1 can't wait for this....i really really hope it's a massive success. This will literally shed light on everything.

What a superb video!! Perspicuous information and amazing animations. The level has gone up in this video from the previous ones. Must have taken some hard-work. I quite enjoyed it.

Don't mind me saying, this is the kind of content I subscribed for.

The launch date was delayed a lot.

But that's worth it

[joshuabaltazar]

Love to see more informative videos like this - thanks!. you got new subscriber here

[bcscodecatcher]

Nice video. Very informative. You were right about it launching successfully! (Though late)

[flyinlow]

What a informative video! Thanks for all the great work you do!

[CrazyFunBerber]

Awesome video! Love from Morocco 🇲🇦 👍🧬

Good speech synthesis! You almost cannot tell - except that the word "mirror" is pronounced exactly the same every time.

The date - 31st October 2021, will be historic Date for cosmos . I'll be excited to see the James Webb telescope searching for new planets and other celestial objects .😀✌

Despite the long wait, it will be worth it. We will find out so much about our Universe, and yet I'm sure it will generate more questions than questions answered. How very exciting. Arian is a good choice for a lifting platform with a brilliant success record. How long after launch will the telescope get to work and give us data, do you know Cosmoknowledge, as I didn't catch that in your presentation?!

[abdurrahmanchowdhury]

Freaking brilliant music work (as I always notice this)

[DanielGrovePhoto]

So what's the megapixel and dynamic range of this sensor?

[conanthedestroyer]

more detail please. What specifically are going to be it's missions?

[johnsamuels]

The Extremely large telescope looks promising too

[landoramzjamz]

My original question is : i realize the Hexagon is the strongest shape for building...think arquitect...or engineering...is this needed for the extreme temps of space or for the mirrors resolution???

[johnsamuels]

I wont be bothered if it gets an another delay... but it must be deployed successfully.. there is soo much hype surrounding it

[Harshguptapo]

I heard somewhere that it is going to direct imaging the exoplanets...is it right??

[iyyyy]

I was an Aerospace Machinist for 40 and retired in 2016, the last 11 years I worked for Ball Aerospace in Boulder, CO. My primary focus was making components for the actuators that focus the 18 segments of the primary mirror. Once it is fully operational at L2, this telescope will reveal, in even greater detail, the amazing creation of the Lord Jesus.

It's December now, but we are less than a week away!

[adamforest]

Oh my God October I cannot wait it it scares me to think this thing doesn't get off the ground I laughed out loud when he said it might never launcI.
2007 thats crazy we didn't even have phones with internet I think I finally got one and it was a flip. So many delays how crazy. I'm glad they arent rushing it slow and steady wins the race.
