That's two days man. You had me freaked out.

12/24 is on the calendar as the earliest it might launch now, not a sure thing.

Thanks for explaining @wetwillie!

What he said.

Hell, the 22nd was the earliest it might launch in that window.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Also, I was just thinking about you. Imagine your little face if you tuned in on the 22nd and nothing was happening? You'd be so sad.

Surprised it isn't the "James Webb Hated The Queers Space Telescope" yet.

 

[Domon]

James Webb launch successful!!

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

James Webb launch successful!!

Ariane bless us, everyone!

 

[Jehannum]

James Webb launch successful!!

Now there's about 30 days of needing absolutely everything to go according to plan in order for it to be actually successful.

It takes over three months for it to cool down enough that we can start using it. That's insane!

Wow, and I thought MechWarrior heat management was shit.

space is a bitch when it comes to shedding heat. No molecules = no path for the heat to move away

Where Is Webb? NASA/Webb

'WhereIsWebb' shows the status of Webb on its journey to L2 orbit. The page constantly updates as Webb travels, deploys, and cools to operating temperature. The most recently completed deployment step for Webb is displayed along a timeline that also indicates the major deployment phases. Note...

Did you ever just start to think that space is SO big... It's be pretty cool, to actually... know something youre working on was, out there

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

We are successfully opened.

 

[Domon]

We are successfully opened.
