James Webb Telescope Here We Are Now.. We Start On Christmas!

NASA will be launching the JamesWebbspacetelescope Dec. 25. It’s a big deal.
* NASA’s latest flagship observatory
* It took close to 3 decades to build
* At a cost of $10B USD
* It’s the successor to the great Hubble telescope
* It can detect 100 times fainter than what the Hubble can observe
* It will orbit the sun (not the Earth like the Hubble telescope) at a distance of about 1 million miles (1.5 million km)
* 4 times farther than the moon
* We get only one shot at getting everything right
* It will help us to learn more about the cosmos and our place within in
* It is an engineering and technological marvel
* This is one of the most complicated things that humans have ever done
It’s inspiring to know that with dedication and perseverance it’s possible to overcome even the most difficult of problems. The scientists and engineers making this possible deserve our highest respect. Their dedication, integrity to their craft and following truth made their dreams and hopes a reality.

Showing what humans are capable of through thinking, engineering and overcoming tough challenges and pushing human innovation to its limits. For the chance to better human understanding. Beautiful. ❤️
We get only one shot at getting it right. Share it and mark the 🚀 on your calendar.

The James Webb Space Telescope team is working a communication issue between the observatory and the launch vehicle system. This will delay the launch date to no earlier than Friday, December 25. We will provide more information about the new launch date no later than Friday, December 17.”

With this brief statement, on December 14, NASA announced yet another postponement of the launch of the Webb telescope, until then scheduled for December 22, setting the new date to a vague “no earlier than Saturday, december 25…”
