That's awesome to hear.

I'm excited for Dec 22nd when the James Webb launches. Crossing fingers big time.

I’m looking forward for some of the photo series NASA probably has planned, like a simultaneous observation of the same object with Hubble and Webb.

30 days off terror for it to transit and unfold. Scary times!

Even longer for it to actually power up and start "working." Really excited for it, but feel like something akin to this hubble issue happening with the JW would be disastrous.

NASA could have built two or more as backups, as most of the cost was in R&D it would have been (comparably) cost effective to do so.

The vibration incident was solved?

This launch is going to be so scary as it represents the scientific promise and investments of a generation.

Yeah, vibration turned out to be a non-issue, everything is go for launch.

The fixed fairing has been successfully launched twice.
