Getting all twitchy with anxiety. Last weather report at T-minus 10 minutes! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | |

T-minus 5 minutes. This launch embodies decades of hard work, and the hopes and dreams of thousands of astronomers, engineers, builders, physicists, and more. Godspeed, you beautiful honeycomb! #UnfoldTheUniverse #JWST | |

I want to watch but I'm also too scared to watch #JWST https://t.co/GkhoQyJqLG | |

You always want to hear NOMINAL even if you can't understand anything else #UnfoldTheUniverse | |

No but seriously that trajectory is absolutely beautiful. I may have gasped at that first footage from the VIKI cam. Wah! #UnfoldTheUniverse | |

That sawtooth maneuver is ingenious. #UnfoldTheUniverse | |

Six minutes until separation of the #JWST from the upper stage of the rocket THIS IS NAIL-BITING STUFF GUYS | |

Like it's cute that we have tweets around here celebrating the fact of liftoff, yay, yes! But whoooey the stressful part is far from over #UnfoldTheUniverse | |

Congratulations to everyone involved, that was a PERFECT RIDE TO ORBIT | |

Turns out it's possible to tear up at the sight of an unfolding solar array | |

Still in awe of the launch and a tiny bit nervous about #JWST - next up on the menu we have the absolutely crucial first course correction burn! It's time critical, wouldn't want the thing to yeet off into deep space. See all deployment stages here: https://t.co/oCVO7FX5jN | |
