    I know, I'm a long process. Virtue patience will bring much needed results of what's out there. Maybe in the 29 day wait period, the @Space_Station can shoot over some space tacos to me? This telescopey loves good space cultivated taco! Preferably on a Tuesday?

    This is our Super Bowl, World Cup - you pick the analogy. In the 29 days after launch, the James Webb Space Telescope must unfold, like origami, over the course of hundreds of steps in order to #UnfoldTheUniverse. Let’s break it down: go.nasa.gov/3wmgFTr
    The James Webb Space Telescope inside its launch site cleanroom in Kourou, French Guiana. The observatory is lifted by a crane as it is moving out of its transport container.

    Sunshield membrane deployments begin about 5 days after launch. A critical juncture will occur when all 107 sunshield release mechanisms, or special pins that keep the five sunshield layers locked into place, fire on cue and pull themselves out to free the membranes.
