I’ve been following it since I was in college (early 10’s) and I’m beyond excited. I have serious anxiety around the launch going well and getting the telescope safely into orbit. Truly priceless.

I knew it was crazy complicated, but watched a youtube video that details the deployment procedure....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTxLAGchWnA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTxLAGchWnA It takes almost a month and is craaaazy complicated! Plus it looks like some freaky alien thing.
