  1. Finally, some recognition for Daddy on this God-forsaken subreddit. More pioneering, wondrous innovation from the greatest place on God’s green Earth.

  2. I’m not sure whether that means that they know that the sunshield is actually intact after deployment, though.

    My understanding is that the concern isn’t just “some motor won’t activate” but that the sunshield could be torn during the deployment.

  3. Does it mean that it’s basically a complete success now and James Webb just need to get to the planned orbit? Or are there any other critical moments ahead of us?
