James Webb Space Telescope Launch and Deployment

James Webb Space Telescope - Part 1

The James Webb Telescope mission, but we are getting closer to it each day... This video delineates in meticulous detail the missile's launch on March 30, 2021. It will open up new space discoveries and enhance the science of space, orders of magnitude greater than ever before! This oustanding video is a bit longer than I usually post on RP, but it is so magnificent, that I wanted to share it with all of you in RP...
