I greatly appreciate Dr. John Mather's time and patience with me. He did a fantastic job of breaking down the design of the telescope.

Thanks to Travis Wohlrab Engagement Officer, NASA Goddard for the tour of testing equipment.

Also, I wanted a cool James Webb Space Telescope shirt, so i commissioned an artist to create this design, which I LOVE.

I couldn't find a JWST shirt that I liked.... so I commissioned an artist to make what was in my mind. Here's the link if you'd like one too. www.bonfire.com/store/smarter-every-day/

"I don't get anxious about stuff I can't deal with." This is the way.
-
"You're the Man." "I'm one of many." This one won many hearts. So humble. 🙌🙌
-
I love how Dr. Mather just radiates excitement and pride. It's one of the purest emotions I've seen. For me this is one of the greatest things that you can experience as a human being
-
" I don't get anxious about stuff I can't deal with" - very wise words from a really amazing person like Dr.Mather, and a beautiful finale for this video! It was a real pleasure to listen to him!
-
'Are you excited about that?' 'Yeeees.' Man that was precious.
-
My lord! Your father taught me about carburetors AND he worked on the JWST?! Thanks for sharing this with us all, Destin.
-
Watching this video on Christmas after the James Webb Space Telescope went into space successfully! SO excited to see what we see with it in about 6 months or so.
-
I wish I was as well versed in anything in life as this man is about this whole subject matter. What a comfort it is knowing that people like this live amongst us, and what a pleasure it is listening to him explain how this particular telescope will work. Thank you for this video
-
So excited for this satellite to finally go up. I have been waiting for this for a long time. This is going to greatly advance our study of cosmology.
-
The room was filled with so much of Dr. John Mather's charisma and personality and thats why Destin's camera kept overheating
-
IT IS SO COOL your dad worked on this, these first images are amazing.
-
Love how Destin breaks it down for us. "That was a lot, but we can understand it." Such a good encouraging channel for students of every age!
-
"I don't get anxious about stuff I can't deal with". That is serenity.
-
25:44 is life changing advice. Astrophysics and mathematics aside, this is an extremely brilliant man.
-
Man I'm dumb as a rock but this so fascinating and heartwarming. I love it when I see people getting excited about stuff they like/love. And I was excited about this new giant space camera to begin with. Man I wish we can learn much more about space from this project.
-
Congrats to your Dad and Team on JWST's first image!! 😀😀
-
Of course Destin comes from a family of rocket surgeons. And I thought his dad was just an amazing lawn mower engineer.
-
"We think we might see objects out to a redshift of 20 to 30." "Are you excited about that?" "Yeeeeehhhhhss" There was so much enthusiasm in that "yes". I'm so stoked for this telescope and what new things we will see and learn!
-
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Period. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to hear what Dr Mather had to say. These are the things that make me proud to be human.
