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.
-
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.
-
" 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!
-
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
-
My lord! Your father taught me about carburetors AND he worked on the JWST?! Thanks for sharing this with us all, Destin.
-
The room was filled with so much of Dr. John Mather's charisma and personality and thats why Destin's camera kept overheating
-
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
-
"You're the Man." "I'm one of many." This one won many hearts. So humble. 🙌🙌
-
'Are you excited about that?' 'Yeeees.' Man that was precious.
-
IT IS SO COOL your dad worked on this, these first images are amazing.
-
Destin, I love how you present. You always exude excitedment and curiousity. Thanks so much for making this channel and sharing with us.
-
Of course Destin comes from a family of rocket surgeons. And I thought his dad was just an amazing lawn mower engineer.
-
"I don't get anxious about stuff I can't deal with". That is serenity.
-
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.
-
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.
-
25:44 is life changing advice. Astrophysics and mathematics aside, this is an extremely brilliant man.
-
The look of joy and excitement on Dr Mathers face as he explains things, is like that of a kid explaining to their parents all the cool stuff he learned at Space Camp. 🤣
-
I love your videos so much @SmarterEveryDay. At 9:07 when he finished talking about the angular momentum of the reaction wheels due to sunshine and thus setting the lifetime of the observatory, is about where I would have lost it with another video. Cue: Destin with “ok that was a lot but we can understand it”. Love it.
