Updated cooking plan:
12:10 Another snifter
12:15 Heat goose fat
12:20 JWST
12:30 Cook roast pots
12:31 Utilise fire blanket
We’ve got a lunchtime Teams call planned (brother in law in Oz and the other in LA). LA brother in law’s wife (who will be at mission control as mentioned earlier) still says she’ll try to join the call if she can 😹 Apparently she was on 60 Minutes on CBS talking about it recently (and has done a TED talk too).
I so hope this thing works!
This??
Lots of women on there. Which one is your relly?

@scuttler - I can’t get that link to play but it’s Amy Lo (Warwick) depending on what name she uses professionally. She’s Chinese American.
I need to find a stream that works.
Yeah Amy Lo (rhymes with John Doh) on at the start in the N-G clean room (all gowned up) then interviewed face to face. She gets loads of air time!
That was a nice little programme.
Ohh cool. I’ll have to find it on YouTube.
👍
Search elves have brought you this
Been talking about the JWST in the classroom. The information we will get from the JWST will be huge. Being able to record in IR means we can see through clouds of dust. The Spitzer Space Telescope was launched in 2003 and produced some wonderful data. the JWST main mirror is almost 7x larger.
Pillars of creation in the eagle nebula (star forming) - visible vs IR
I know it's a long wait for first images, but I'm really looking forward to them...
So long as Perkin-Elmer have had nothing to do with the mirror all should be well 🙂
Really hoping everything goes to plan and it sends back the data everyone is hoping for...

Somehow, I don’t think you’re alone in that!
Sorry if I've missed, where can I stream this tomorrow guys?
Cheers!

Should take you to a YouTube link at
I really, really hope it works.
Just had a quick FaceTime with them and she said ‘I’ve just got a couple of hours of fettling to do, then I’m done’. Nice to hear that her Yorkshire-bred hubby has taught her something 😹

As a Yorkshireman, love the ‘fettling’ anecdote. Nice shed they have at Northrop Grumman.
I'm looking forward to a successful launch. 👍
Tomorrow is…
Present opening (kids)
Present opening (parents)
Quick shower
Coffee
Put the turkey on
Have some alcohol
Watch the launch
The best bloody Christmas for a long time.

Me too, but I also have a sneaky wish to see the reaction shots if the whole thing explodes on the launchpad.
Not sure Roman was particularly invested in that launch.
Amused to think how many Americans believe the universe is 20000 years old rather than 14 billion
And we're live! 🙂
Yep, settling down in front of it.
11.12 and counting!
santa hats in mission control, hardly very professional ! 😉
T-4
is there a backup ready to launch from some remote japanese/chinese island ? anyone seen Jake Busey ?
Squeeky bum time! 😆
🤣
Getting excited now!
Thought it wasn't going to launch 😲
it's shifting now
Performance nominal.
Mad that it's losing altitude. Didn't expect that. Guess it's just building up speed
i guess checking facebook on your phone means all is well 🙂
I assume the discarded components will fall back to earth and burn up on reentry? Shame they can't be reused a la SpaceX
Mad that it’s losing altitude. Didn’t expect that. Guess it’s just building up speed
It’s following the nominal performance trajectory exactly, according to the graphics on screen, the drop in altitude during that stage of the flight was explained by the commentary.
climbing (about 100km a minute) faster than Pog must be juicing
