James Webb: A 10 billion dollars origami in space

Did you know we invented a time machine? Not for traveling to the past, but for viewing it! In this episode, we talk about NASA's latest technical marvel, the James Webb Space Telescope. What challenges the scientists and engineers had to overcome? And what images we should expect to come in the next few months and years? Of course, it's not every day that you throw a 10 billion dollar origami into space!
