(Documentary) The James Webb Space Telescope | ASMR

The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is an $11 billion origins machine. It was engineered to discover the first stars that sparked the cosmic dawn and exoplanets that may harbor alien life. Let's find out what this machine is capable of. I hope you enjoy this one, I enjoyed making it. Thanks for watching.

Been watching your videos for a few years now. I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and my mind often races when I try to go to sleep at the end of the day. Every night when I crawl into bed, I put on one of your videos to calm down. Your passion and interest about always learning something new brings a lot of comfort, sharing that passion with people around the world is truly remarkable. Thank you for what you do, Rich!

*Thanks for all the warm, kind comments everyone. I'm preparing the house for a new baby on the way and haven't been able to respond to them yet, but I promise I will and that the love is not taken for granted. All the positivity is immensely encouraging. Thank you. -Rich

I’ve been a ball of crying major depression nerves for weeks constantly scrolling trying to find a voice that would calm me and here you are. Instant relief. Instant relaxed breathing. Thank you so much

I am a truck driver, and over the decades I have fallen asleep to many science docs. Durring the middle of the night, after being awoken to loud audio, due to un-equal audio, I turn it down to the point of not being able to really understand what is even being said.
However, YT gave this to me on "Suggested", most likely because it had to do with astronomy. This video is a great merger of what I have been looking for to fall asleep to. This is just one person that would like you to do more of this long-form content on astronomy, quantum mechanics, or anything just space related.
Thanks for the content!

[Dillon-F]

I love your videos. Thank you so much for all the effort 👌 . It's definitely one of my favorite asmr channels

[mysticfish]

When you actually stayed awake for the 5 hours because it got interesting 😂😂😂

[logansharp]

You deserve a million subs, your content is probably some of the best edited and produced on YouTube! I learn so much from each video, keep up the good work.

[_grem_]

can't even describe how insane it is that this is just one of your many, many MULTI HOUR asmr essays/topical deep dives. proud of your ability to keep knocking it out of the park this hard. thanks for all the content. you're the man.

[achtvier]

I found your channel shortly after you uploaded your previous video, around one month ago. Since then I watched all of your space related videos and I was afraid you wouldn't make another - but here we are! Thank you so much for this!

[treehouseoflibertymedia]

This is absolutely masterful. I'm just under an hour in, and what I've learned already is incredible. I'm a space fan, always have been, and can say that your knowledge and research are beyond reproach.

You have an excellent ASMR voice too. And I can see I'll be fighting that battle between relaxing and enjoying it and focusing on the information you're providing until I've completed this masterpiece.

Thank you so much for this. It is truly unique and clearly a labor of love.

I discovered your channel many months ago, thanks to the YouTube algorithm. I remember telling you then that I was a professor at Julliard, where I teach acting and voice. I remember telling you that you had one of the finest voices that I had ever heard. I remember telling you that I had many voice acting students who studied and practiced for years to achieve that which comes so naturally and effortlessly for you. All of those comments are still absolutely true. But what I failed to mention in that comment, was that it may have been your voice that brought me to your channel, but it was your content that kept me here. Tonight’s video is the perfect example. I am only part way into it and I can already tell you that this is your masterpiece. Thank you for creating these beautiful and enlightening and inspiring works of art.

Edit: I think one of the signs of a truly great documentary is that it holds up to multiple viewings. And that is absolutely the case here. Each and every time I watch/listen to this documentary I always find something new: some observation that I missed before, some concept that I didn’t quite understand before, etc. This is a masterpiece that keeps on giving and giving.

[melinaalba]

This is 6 hours long and I could not possibly be more excited!! I already know it will be amazing!
I also can't possibly imagine how long it must have taken to prepare this but thank you so much for sharing your passion with us <3

[bymaxxie]

5 frickin hours of edition, montage, sound, resources and script. Bravo, just bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[faithfaithfaithfaithfaith]

Your work is so appreciated. Thank you for all you do!

[we-must-live]

2:48:18 damn man, you’re gonna make me cry!

seriously, I’d say that ‘accumulating knowledge to better understand the universe and your place in it’ is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

learning how the tenets of one discipline matches another, which complements another, until you have dozens of spinning pieces that mesh together and form… an understanding of the universe that is uniquely yours!

[AstronAndry]

Your videos are amazing! I fall asleep so quicky listening to you.

[feeltheburn]

I know these videos must take a very long time to make but I’m so thankful that you do!! They are amazing and super informative. I have been obsessed with Webb since these photos came out and I couldn’t wait to hear your take! The star nursery photos were life changing!

[Lightly]

Thanks again Rich for helping me fall sleep!!! I love sleeping through your videos. 😂

[maxdarcy]

I’ve been patiently waiting for the GOATs return. Finally :) Cheers Rich, wishing you and the family well 🙏🏽
