I’ve been following it since I was in college (early 10’s) and I’m beyond excited. I have serious anxiety around the launch going well and getting the telescope safely into orbit. Truly priceless.

For sure! I knew it was crazy complicated, but watched a youtube video that details the deployment procedure.......

It takes almost a month and is craaaazy complicated!

Plus it looks like some freaky alien thing.

we've been lucky enough to see both new horizons pluto flyby and the dawn mission to ceres, but james web telescope takes the top spot in terms of anticipation for me
