Yuuuup. Working in the space industry, even if your project is a "Class A" (top level projects, such as the Webb), there is always a chance that it may get cancelled, even after years of work, and tons of money invested. You just have to ignore that possibility, and always work as if it is going to be launched into space.

The stuff that is mined isn't beryllium "powder", it's beryllium "ore". There are a couple main kinds. The ore isn't "purified", the ore is beryllium metal that is chemically bound into various minerals, and the beryllium metal has to be extracted from the ore by complicated chemical and thermal processing. The metal may then be further processed for a particular end product, I would think the beryllium used in the JWT is highly pure.

@@collinscody57 you are confusing the program cost with the prototype cost. The JWST is a one off telescope that was built using existing infrastructures and special tools that may not be used again to make a second one. The Manhattan project was 25 Billions but including the building of plutonium production facilities and all the research labs that have been use for every bombs designed and produced at that time and years after. It would have been true if the story of nuclear weapons stopped right there. You have to at least spread the costs between the 4 Fat Man bombs (trinity, Nagazaki, 2x Cross Roads) and the Little Boy which needed much less R&D costs as the design was simple. SO basically each bomb costs 7 Billions at most with your logic, non considering reusable hardware (centriguation plants, plutonium reactors, labs...). In case of the JWST most of the R&D budget and spare hardwae won't be kept as assets because the next gen telescope of that type will push things much further again, requiring all knew techs again.

For anyone who notices signs, the video of the container transport is utterly bewildering. It's like when you know the city shown in a movie and realize that the actors just teleported 30 miles during a sentence. It's because a lot wasn't mentioned. And the video is out of order, and it shows parts he wasn't describing. The container was developed at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. That's why 4:36 and 5:24 show it between DC and Annapolis. 5:26: Summers Trucking from PA has been doing NASA's trucking for 15 years (they have a video on this on their company page). A NASA page says it was trucked from Goddard to JB Andrews and flown on a C-5 to Houston to be checked out at Johnson, which is why 4:34 shows Texas-style horizontal traffic lights and Middlebrook Dr (presumably the one in Houston). After that, it was flown to somewhere near LA and then to Redondo Beach, which is probably why 4:41 has "Entering Pasadena" when it's 25 miles out of the path between Redondo Beach and Seal Beach. Then all the stuff the video said. Interesting that Summers Trucking got to drive it in French Guyana too.

The individual mirror segments were fabricated from beryllium certainly because of low weight, but primarily because it has superlative low thermal expansion. The mast-mounted _Long Bow_ radar added to select _Apache_ military helicopters was (agonizingly!) fabricated from beryllium as well for its additional mechanical property of vibration resistance. The truck drove at approximately 8 km/hr not because the STTARS rig was heavy (or unaerodynamic!), but because of vibration mitigation. You should have investigated the matter of how much insurance is necessary to transport a $10 billion space telescope those number of miles on the road and sea. Now _that_ would have a fun fact!

call me ignorant, but why are we surprised they made a "strong" shipping container for something that was meant to withstand takeoff? amazing video nonetheless
@itainteasy 2 жыл бұрын
The telescope itself doesn't "takeoff". the telescope goes inside the rocket which is also a "strong" shipping container. the rocket is meant to withstand takeoff, the telescope is just built to withstand deployment and it's orbit around the sun.

@@oustoure5209 there is no shock, the shipping container wasn't for the rocket... it was for the telescope that is protected inside the rocket on launch. Until it's in the rocket it needs something equivalent to protect it.

There is some standards to determine the level of cleanliness of a room. With an ISO 1 room (the cleanest), 100 is maybe a bit too low but it is definitely in this order of magnitude. The standard tells about 10 veryyyyyyy small particle by cubic meter. That is if the container is ISO1, which is probably very hard to obtain even with a permanent room

An important distinction is that none of this was necessary. The entire telescope could've been built at a single location, and launched nearby. The rest is zip-code contracting, namely you can only get Congress to shell out money for a project like this if the senators that sign out the money get something back to their states. So space gets turned into a jobs program.
