People were complaining about how expensive this telescope was, but this is literally a telescope that can change humanity in the future. This is a HUGE step.

I can see the influence of Kurzgesagt is strong on this channel.

The narration, the transitions, the delivery, and the animation---all strongly reminiscent of In a Nutshell. Yep, I'll sub since everything is pretty well put up. Goodluck Perception.

My dad worked at the company (Northrop) which built the telescope. He was lucky enough to work in an office a few buildings away from the facility where it resided, meaning he had the rare privilege to see the telescope in person daily. All the employees at the company had security clearance to enter a viewing deck where he watched it get built over the years. Sometimes he'd get guest passes and bring my family and friends in to watch the guys in bunny suits work on it. The thing was MASSIVE. 3 stories tall at least, and just one of the mirror panels was about a third the size of an average adult. I remember being taught about how the mirrors are made of beryllium (highly toxic material) and were covered in a coat of pure gold because something to do with gold's reflective or thermal properties.

He didn't work on the telescope project itself, but his work around the company definitely helped contribute financially in a small way. Very proud of my dad's work, and I'm glad to see so many people interested in this. I'm glad it had a successful launch!

My goodness. I remember being in highschool and reading about James Webb being launched sometime in 2020-2022 back in 2009. Can’t believe it finally launched yesterday 12/24/2021.

It will find the upper limit of mankinds tolerance to project delays

Jesus, the engineering that went into this is fucking insane.

[jarvis]

Just imagine what we as a species could achieve if we put so much more funding into science instead of pointless wars.

[Dionn]

Science and engineering are the closest to magic we'll ever see in our lifetime. So exciting to be able to watch this event unfold.

[MrChanivan]

imagine all developed countries take part in making things like this, what we can achieve as human beings, will definitely be very extraordinary

[eyeiess]

I remember being excited when Hubble was launched and fascinated when its first images came through. We live in exciting times!

[Blergph]

Coming here after the telescope has launched AND it being a total success, I have really high hopes for this telescope

[TheJasonaut]

The whole “seeing into the past” thing is only 20 seconds of the video. How insane is that? :)
I’m be watching the launch and unfolding/startup process nervously but very hopeful that all this work and technology gets a chance to amaze us with information.

It's an incredible time to be alive...
I'm so hyped!!!

Please don't stop posting videos because of how many subs you have, with the quality of your videos, your channel might start booming soon.

[VRoy-grmz]

Starting a new era of Astrophysics. Thank you indeed for informative videos.

Kid: "I want Kurzgesagt."
Mom: "We have Kurzgesagt at home."

Kurzgesagt at home:

Kid: "...This is acceptable."

I was literally shaking and almost passed out from the excitement, because I didn't know what it was capable of till now, this is gonna be one of the most revolutionist day of humanity, we might see evidence for other intelligent life form, let that sink in....

[redsquirrelftw]

I'm legit excited to see what this telescope can do, can't wait to see it in operation. It's mind boggling the engineering that went into this.

Here after seeing the first image. Mind-bending

I honestly didn't realize there was so much heat. For some reason, I thought space was cold, which apparently it's not. I then learned that shade/shadow areas are only cold.
