An engineering marvel, huge props to everyone involved.

Now the painstaking wait while they calibrate.

Thanks to an especially precise launch Webb appears to have enough fuel for 20 years of service.

When we will have space flight and colonization capabilities like in The Expanse, we'll all be old or dead.

Space X launch today at Vandenberg. About to head outside and see if I can see anything. Too bad they aren't launching in the evening cause people trip out.

Right? They already have a space telescope, no one cares about this new one unless we're spying on ET taking a piss with it

The current space telescope is dying and akin to binoculars while this thicc boi can see right up Uranus.

NASA's new SLS moon rocket, the most powerful in agency history, was rolled out to launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center overnight Thursday for a dress-rehearsal countdown that will set the stage for its long-awaited maiden flight early this summer.

The 322-foot-tall rocket, anchored to a 10-million-pound mobile launch gantry atop a massive crawler-transporter, began inching its way out of High Bay 3 in the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building at 5:47 p.m. EDT Thursday amid cheers and applause from a throng of dignitaries, NASA workers and their families.

NASA YT link since the Chandra page only has a short which doesn't load videos here.

Aside from my uneducated confusion of how this is even measured, that is as horrifying as I imagined it would be, the sound itself with the implication of what's happening. Less bass though...

57 octaves below middle C, so cool.
