- Thousands of people, for almost two decades, accomplished the construction of the telescope element of the largest space telescope ever created. The optical and science segment of the James Webb Space Telescope stands complete in one of the largest cleanrooms in the world, located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

i watched this video in school, 5 years ago. its finally in space
This is probably the most incredible, difficult and important endeavor in recent human history and most people don't even know what the JWST is if you asked them. Hopefully the discoveries of JWST will change that though. Thanks for all of your dedication and hard work. I would feel a lot better about myself if i contributed to something as significant as this.
Joe Dirt its not that important vs real people scratching to put food on the table and trying to keep a roof over their heads to shelter from the cold of space during the winter and from the suns radiation. 8 billion people on this plant and most live in poverty.. think about that the next time you decide to put people down who dont have the time to stare gaze or think about weather more people exists on another planet.
i happen to think this project is very cool... but they are looking for more crap in the vast endless sea of crap... lets be real... while very important this telescope is a luxury... remember that the next time you try to put people down for not following what we so happen to think is kewl.
@@b3at2 we are human and if we just try to bring food on our tables we would still have living in caves
@@b3at2 What on earth are you talking about? How has Joe Dirt put anyone down? You're seriously on a pedestal because of his excitement about JWST? You need to have a look at yourself in the most pristine and faultless golden mirror featured in this video.
Incredible what all those people achieved with their knowledge, passion, and hard work! We are so proud to be part of it with having laser polished and gold-coated the mirror segments.
Incredible. I really hope it deploys without complications. I don't think I'm smart enough to understand the massive amount of effort and skill that went into constructing this beautiful observatory, but thanks for all your hard work people!
:)
words cannot describe how excited i am to see what images this thing takes. i hope it will help alot of ignorant people out there realize just how small we are.
Hopefully it lands safe at its lagrange point. Can't wait to see it's first images!
Goosebumps. The hype keeps on escalating!
decades of work + state of the art technologies + planet's smartest brains = first image of big bang source.
JWST is going to be a mile stone in the history of mankind, maybe as important as Galileo's first telescope itself. I am very excited to see what this window show us . Love the NASA for this.
Удачи Вэб!
science and technology at the service of humanity and great advances in precision electronics for space telescopes
And now it's up there, mirror unfolded and soon on L2 - what an enterprise!
Please don't screw it up!! If it can't run I think I will cry.
Mind is blown, not at the JWT but the work the sheer imagination... making 10 new inventions, the preciseness, care and love in this. Beautiful
This is amazing!! Thankyou for building it :)
Absolutely Spectacular.
Great vid, thanks.
This is so exciting! I just wish there were 2 of them.
What an achievement !
Best of luck.
i'm waiting, good luck on launch
Your achievements are out of this world. Succes with the launch. All fingers crossed.
Am very excited to view is first image of space
congrats!
I am so excited 4 this!
Yeah me too :)
HeliosphanXtal
Aphex Twin! Woo!
If the rocket launch goes wrong I will cry, alot...
waited for years :)
Amazing!
I'm so excited! I can't wait! Good luck!
Is it capable to take colored photos or black and white like Hubble?
Go Webb, Go Webb!
Is the main objective of placing the JWST at L2 blocking the light coming from the Sun? Also, I was trying to understand what a halo orbit was. Any helpful resources are much appreciated. :)
Super...
when will it be launched?
i cant wait for it to analyse the Trappist 1 system
Go JWST... Atlast is coming too in 2020... Can't wait for you to find those Aliens who are playing hide n seek with us... XD
Is the ATLAST still going ahead? The last I heard, it was happening a bit later (2025-). There's also the HDST planned for the 2030s.
wjfox2006
Yes broda, got a confirmation on it. ATLAST is also coming to life after JWST only in 2 years time frame... XD
HDST is actually ATLAST. ATLAST has been renamed. No its not by 2030s, its coming by 2020's as a surprise. Shh don't tell anyone. They are not telling anyone, cuz they don't want JWST's excitement to be stolen away. JWST was suppose to be a 2012 project, but due to financial conditions it didn't happen. The JWST's mirrors were already ready in 2012 (FYI). NEW FRONTIER HERE WE COME!!! :'D
wjfox2006 it's set to launch off the coast of Guyana in October of 2018
5 years later...
Oct 2018 James Webb will launch off the coast of Guyana. James Webb will be unfolding, after a 2+month trip,1 million miles from earth..
Can you imagine all this effort/time/money to make this and the rocket that propels it into space explodes seconds after lift off? Hope this goes well or we will never see this kind of telescope ever again.
I really hope that the launch vehicle won't screw up
When James Webb will open his eyes..
How can James Webb Space Telescope recharge its battery power after it is at its destination in space for long period of time?
Is it just me or is there something blurred at 1:36
I can not beleive ittttt
Bueno un telescopio capaz de ver en el tiempo para resolver los misterios del espacio y que el tiempo varía depende de donde estes
waiting to see first image out form it.
aviral gupta the first image will be Shit. it takes several images and small adjustments until the thing is focused correctly. then it will be awesome.
hmm. thanks for the info!
The first image released to the public will have all those things taken into account. It takes a while to cool the telescope to operating temperature, and to calibrate the instruments and fine tune the mirrors.
hmm below 50K. I think it will take a while to get some cool images out form it. but still can wait for it!
I am so curious to what has been blurred out at 1:36 and 2:44 in the video. What is the secret addition to the telescope that should not be seen by us?
It's the actuators on the mirrors (you'll see they are blurred in other vids too). These are motors that allow the mirrors to be adjusted individually. Some of the tech falls under the ITAR umbrella.
Very easy to see why it cost so much to bring it to reality.
Why is this video just counting my views?
2 flat earthers disliked ^^
Surprised @2.21 seconds lifting things by hand over the mirror with no safety hook/chain...
Imagine how tragic it would be if they use SpaceX to launch this thing and they somehow manage to blow it up. :/
We are launching on an Ariane 5 which has an excellent safety record.
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Sweet.
When will the Ariane 5 launch with the JWST?
Definitely lots of successful missions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ariane_launches
Actually SpaceX has a very good track record as well. NASA itself is going to be using SpaceX's services to fly up astronauts as early as next year. If NASA trusts SpaceX to send astronauts then I would not imagine that they would have a problem utilizing them to send up the JWST.
Sounds like a car commercial.
ITS NOT THERE ANYMORE
Charles what?
0:24 Crashes into it.... crap
Oooh, I think I am going to pray that every thing goes well and that the telescope is deployed as planned! I am sure that success or ) failure of this mission can have such a profound impact on humanity as a whole. If it fails boy oh boy actual USA president administration will cut all the fundings for science and that can take us to the dark ages! There are 400 steps for deployment!
Thank a welder and machinist. Engineers are a dime a dozen - men and women who can cut metal are worth their weights in gold... Too bad NASA has its head up its ass about supporting the trades...
What, on earth (or on deep sky) could be the purpose of this cheap, nagging, nugatory musac in the background? It adds NOTHING. It only DISTRACTS.
absolute zero (near) ...
