Either I've got sugar withdrawal symptoms or I'm shaking slightly in anticipation!
Looks mad cloudy though.

Shame we can’t see it.

This launch seems to be going well but it should be easy, it’s not rocket science.

Yeah, they were on about a whole system, Trappist 1 or something (can't recall) which has several planets altogether in a Mercury-Earth zone.
Webb's fairing has been jettisoned and the telescope is visible in space!
The whole thing blows my mind, it really does.
MECO, separation, ignition and heading for orbit!
Soldato
Thanks for the heads up. Please to have seen that live. Looks like a perfect launch.

Ah I forgot about this, got all the alerts setup for NASA stuff but Christmas morning with two young kids and I completely forgot about it.
Looking forward to seeing what it starts beeming back

There was a clip of Brian Cox on social media saying about the sheer number of planets, stars and galaxies out there... we just can't be on our todd.
Solar array deployment!

And power.
