Wahoo, Perfect liftoff and ride into orbit and off to its lagrange point. Has been a long wait and now another wait for all its systems to be operational.

Agree, using the best available Rocket which has produced yet another flawless Launch
Now its all left to James-Webb manufacturers,,, -------------
Anyone else spot the JWST in W.A skies tonight? Blew me away when I spotted it while I was looking at Leonard. Should have posted here first but was too mesmerised
if you ever view a space x launch, maybe 20 or 30 per year (soon to be a few hundred per year), you hear it a lot
I thought I had watched plenty of those launches yet
I don't remember ever hearing the word nominal.
Maybe I have Alzheimer's?
From a google search:
The relevant definition of “nominal” is, “as named.” Nominal, in this technical context, does not mean “normal.” It means as planned, as named, or as written (in the mission plan). Often, it means “within acceptable or expected boundaries.”
Such a relief it was a good launch and it's on its way. Ariane is a reliable launcher and the site location closer to the equator gives that little extra boost for really heavy payload. Still you never know until it goes up without any issues. Now to the long trip and unfolding phase.

I borrowed this from Heidi B. Hammel’s Facebook post…
I had to shrink it to fit but I hope you get the idea
Awsome Info, Thnx for posting, I wonder if NASA will have live updates on each action staged on the days performed ?
Could be good updates to this thread and keep it all together for the record
The JWST has been Born,, to grow into a fully fledge Telescope to help explain the Birth of the Cosmos
Wow .. they launched with known non 100% functioning hardware. Given this will go where even Scotty can't carry out a repair there is a lot of faith on their suppose fix for the problem.
