The Insane Engineering and Launch of the James Webb Telescope
Humanity, hopefully, gets an incredible Xmas present tomorrow with the launch of the $10 billion James Webb Telescope. 1000x more powerful than Hubble and heading for solar orbit a million miles from earth. Unlike Hubbles glass lens, Webb’s 6 meter diameter array is made of beryllium coated with less than a micron of gold coating and will rely on infrared sensing of the deepest regions of space and time.
Unable to be serviced, like Hubble, Webb is self adjusting. It also has a tennis court sized, multilayer solar shield about the thickness of a human hair. This is definitely science fiction come to life. The engineering concepts from thermoacoustics to photon gathering are utterly mind blowing. (and IK can’t get MixBox to work properly). All the complexities of software design we discuss here are reduced to insignificance compared to the revolutionary enormity of this 25 year project. I’m not dissing software devs… just trying to give some perspective of this monumental achievement of the human mind.
Launching from French Guiana, on the equator, tomorrow morning at 7 am EST, I think. It will take several months for the telescope to become fully functional. If only James Webb could see this!

Honestly, this damn chunk of elegant engineering is the only bright spot in the news of this floating ball of rock n water spinning unimaginably through space.
Anyone else watching the launch tomorrow? Gonna be 6:30 am here but this is once in a lifetime stuff.

I weirdly have some anxiety about this. I so badly want it to be successful and honour the amazing work that has gone into it.
This is the cathedral effort of our generation.
I'm watching Don't Look Up - and hoping the Webb fares better than the BASH mission.
It’s all well looking back in time, but presently and probably for quite some time, something has been keeping an even closer eye on mothership Earth The study of this requires more investment of monies and effort.
TTSA probably the leading organisation on this at the moment.
Where are you at?
All fingers crossed for a successful launch and flight - seeing the first images will be (hopefully) amazing!

Man I’m nervous for this launch…. Imagine the folks that have worked on this for years!!!!!
@ecamburn just 3 hours north of ya 😁
Whereabouts? Moved here from Madison, WI a couple of years ago.
west Des Moines. 😁.
Know it well. 🙂
Successful launch! Go Webb!
I can’t wait to see stuff from this, best news of the year!
Yes, that was some exquisite shade right there 🎖️

Just got to wait another month now for it to reach its final orbit…
So Cool
I was very glad to hear everything went well this morning with the launch, been waiting a long time for this day!
The launch is the easy part, unfolding that’s where it’s tricky.
Got to have lunch with him a few years back. Humble farm boy from Alabama. One day Wernher von Braun asks him if he wants to come build rockets... the rest is history!
Plan out your next launch at home:
I wonder if it will ever detect signs of extraterrestrial intelligence
Only if they’re infrared.
That'd be cool. Not sure if it'd do that if it was pointing back at Earth though...
Horoscopes are going to get tight
