1:06. That big rocket doesn’t wait around does it?

[@Poniax3]

Agreed. The payload must have been pretty light. I don't recall the JWST leaping off the pad like this.

[@SciNewsRo]

Payload weight at 00:14 & 00:18

[@EMichaelBall]

During the live stream, one of the presenters said that the total payload was light enough to allow for a 3° inclination, instead of the 6° inclination typically found on Ariane 5 GTO launches.

[@blablubb12345]

@@Poniax3 Webb was even lighter but at 770 tons at liftoff, that really doesn't matter.

[@idlemessiah]

@@Poniax3 Tbh, the JWST launch jumped off the pad pretty quick too. Ariane 5 didn't mess around!
