Strange priorities? Defending yourself from people wanting to kill you, take your freedom, and take your property is *vastly more important* than looking at a telescope, no matter how you imagine it.

I am very impressed and glad we built this telescope and will learn the things we will learn, but you *must first live in a safe and secure civilization* before you can execute such a mission.

The JWST cryo cooling system is just something else entirely. I work as an engineer on land vehicle cooling systems, and the thing about cooling systems is you don't realise how little you understand about the science behind active heat transfer systems until you actually start designing them. The designers would have had to simulate and account for every single joule of thermal energy throughout the entire telescope, and then design such a cutting edge active cooling system with moving parts that can last for decades of non-stop operation with no servicing and with no allowances for failure. How many times the engineers would have woken up at night in a cold sweat! I'm not even one bit surprised that it cost $150 million to design.

not only that, but i noticed passive analog cooling is ultimately being used to vent/radiate away the heat. what i mean by this is that it looked like they were using simple heat transferable metal (probably copper) to simply radiate the heat away from components and guide it where it's needed (the heat radiation). it's amazing something so technological uses one of the first ever but most used cooling methods devised. i'm not an expert on thermodynamics and my engineering skills are computer related, but it's all simply fascinating. maybe you could tell us more or correct me if my description is sketchy.

@@rljpdx There's simply no other sink available to deposit excess heat into! You can actively transport heat about the system all you want, but in the end, the entire system's heat sink must be external to the system, and accessible by some combination of conduction, convection, and radiation. In this case, the sink can only be external space, and that is only accessible through radiation. On top of that, the act of transporting heat against the direction where it wants to go in itself requires energy. So really you're trying to reject both the energy of transporting the heat along with the redirected heat itself. Since the temperature difference of the gas at either end of the pulse tube is relatively constant, the theoretical minimum temperature (with no parasitics) of the cold end is the temperature of the hot heat exchanger (HHX) minus the achievable difference in gas temperature at either end of the pulse tube. Any steady state heat load present at the cold end increases that minimum temperature because the cold gas in the pulse tube has to remove that heat load from the cold end through the cold heat exchanger (CHX), and so the gas must be colder. The heat of operating the pressure wave generator is generally rejected into the HHX, or an additional supplementary heat exchanger (aftercooler) placed earlier in the system, but can diffuse into the pulse tube gas, or present a heat load to the HHX and raise its temperature. Additional parasitic type effects basically just include all the conduction, convection, and radiation modes between parts of the system at different temperatures. For additional information, Ray Radebaugh is an authoritative figure on crycoolers and has written comprehensive reviews of the state of the art. He has also taught a short course at the yearly International Cryocooler Conference, though I'm not sure if that sort of thing is going on this upcoming year.

I'm far from Engineering field, I would say I'm only an enthusiast about learning new stuff and a big fan of space, astronomy, astrophysics etc. and this videos is absolutely mindblowing just like the work done on creating J.W. Telescope itself! Explaining the unbelievable amount of work that was put into creating such an amazing tool for scientists as J.W.T. also takes a lot of effort and hard work, especially to make it understandable for people like me who is far from any kind of engineering fields! Great job! Appreciate it a lot! Thanks from Moscow, Russia!

Man I remember reading some space magazine when I was young. Simply amazing technology. Cost overruns and delays aside, this is going to give us the largest jump in our knowledge of space in a long time.

Nice job explaining the thermoacoustics! I'll have to look more into the design used here for the next thermoacoustic project I take on.

Great video. However, a small quibble: at 4m55s, the graphics show the Webb remaining entirely in the shadow of the Earth and unexposed to the sun. This would actually be pretty disastrous for the Webb, as it would take a lot of fuel to remain in such a tight orbit around L2, and would also not have enough light for the solar panels to generate sufficient power for it to operate. In fact, the Webb will trace a large eliptical orbit around L2. By design, it will remain uneclipsed by either the moon or Earth for it's operational lifespan. This is so that its exposure to the sun is constant and the temperature won't undergo large changes, as is the case for satellites in orbit around Earth.

The thing about Webb that always blows my mind when I see it is that all the Hexagons look like 1 single mirror (which is the point). Whereas on the one model you show, you get the "bug vision" where each hexagon is slightly off from the others and so you get 12 different images instead of 1 unified image. And that, is brilliant.

this is just stupid, The Webb telescope was not always planned to be a megaproject. It was originally estimated to cost $4.96 billion and launch in 2014. But serious mismanagement and under-resourcing during critical early planning stages caused the ambitious spacecraft to fall behind schedule. After NASA restructured the project to launch in 2018 the total cost increased to $8.8 billion. In the intervening years, the program struggled to address serious technical problems, further delaying the launch to 2021. This final delay added yet another billion dollars to the total cost. do some research

As someone who worked for NASA for 36yrs, the most impressive and challenging part is having to invent a way to do what is asked. You can't go to your local hardware store and buy parts. You have to design, build, and then test it to its breaking point. For JWS new materials and technologies were invent. When I first started, it was mind boggling that we had to invent a solution. But it left a lasting impression that the human mind is truly the most wonderful powerful thing in the universe.

5:23 Two things - the graphs shows temperature at -83C (not exactly 'scorching') and also the narration suggests that water boils at 100C, which is not true in space - water does not boil at all in space, it sublimates.. It only requires a temperature of -73C to sublimate in space, so any free water at L2 is certainly going to transition.
