    People were complaining about how expensive this telescope was, but this is literally a telescope that can change humanity in the future. This is a HUGE step.

      @buggsy5 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      The only thing it will change is our perceptions about the early galactic formation. In other words, there will probably be huge gains in esoteric scientific knowledge - with next to zero effect on our futures.
      Regardless of how much we learn about the early universe, the distances involved are far to vast to be of any practical use.

      Science advances from theory to experiments (requiring data collection), then to practical applications, which almost never are foreseen. Advances in math are the same way. People often dismiss theoretical math with, "What practical use is it?"

    My dad worked at the company (Northrop) which built the telescope. He was lucky enough to work in an office a few buildings away from the facility where it resided, meaning he had the rare privilege to see the telescope in person daily. All the employees at the company had security clearance to enter a viewing deck where he watched it get built over the years. Sometimes he'd get guest passes and bring my family and friends in to watch the guys in bunny suits work on it. The thing was MASSIVE. 3 stories tall at least, and just one of the mirror panels was about a third the size of an average adult. I remember being taught about how the mirrors are made of beryllium (highly toxic material) and were covered in a coat of pure gold because something to do with gold's reflective or thermal properties.
    He didn't work on the telescope project itself, but his work around the company definitely helped contribute financially in a small way. Very proud of my dad's work, and I'm glad to see so many people interested in this. I'm glad it had a successful launch!

      @Claude LeBel from a show I saw on TV about it, once this telescope is in position, at its Lagrange point, it will be too far away for any astronaut to assist it, should it get into trouble. And then it must perform 105 different maneuvers to fully deploy. So, building it and mounting it on the Rocket is only half of the work. Now it’ll be all on its own, and hopefully deploy perfectly. If it should get stuck half way through, there is nothing anyone can do to help it. Once it is up and fully operational, it will be something to celebrate! And we can only imagine what we will see through it!

Also, if the military needs to use something like a telescope or anything they'd make and launch their own, probably secretly. So, I don't think you need to worry about that aspect of the JWST and with so many organizations and institutes and scientists--getting time on the JWST will be incredibly difficult.

      X CALIBRE the Hubble technically is a military spy satellite. It was the last of the Keyhole series developed by the military. They no longer needed it so they gave it to NASA. All NASA had to do was launch it and point it the other way. Also some post launch modifications, but that happens sometimes.

      The october date is highly unlikely.. Ariane has been grounded for almost a year now and ESA are yet to perform 2 flight tests of the redesigned vehichle. First test is scheduled for 27 July and then another one in august. Only if these two flights are successful they will launch in october but the most likely outcome will be november or december. Regardless, I am optimistic because the defect was relatively minor and it only affected the payload fairing so it should be a "easy fix". So lets hope all goes well and we get to see this baby in space by the end of this year
