You can just hear the passion in her voice. So nice to see people acting on their highest joy and passion.
It would be even nicer to see THEM paying for it.
deeremeyer1, that is a ludicrous suggestion. There is no way lowly paid scientists would have the time to raise the funding for their own projects.
Do you pay for your own job that you work at ?
Yes I wish she was single and I was too. And we were out on the ocean talking about space and the meaning..................😍
She wouldn't be impressed by your telescope
stuff like this should be on the news goddammit
Too busy reporting 45's last tweet

Not since the first video release of ABBA’s latest album have I seen such glowing and unanimous enthusiasm for a speaker (or singer) and the subject matter. Amber Straughn for President!! Lol. Seriously fantastic presentation. Thanks so much for bringing the magic of Webb to the masses. I am sure that it was this kind of gushing about the manufacture of Hubble is why it has always held our imaginations’ attention. Learning about how Hubble’s mirrors were being polished night and day for weeks in Rochester NY is something I’ll always remember. Photos of Webb’s MASSIVE foil box in the sound testing hangar and Amber’s exuberance had the exact same stunning effect. So excited!!
She was amazing and rather than watch TV today I took in this lecture and loved every minute of this
I find it fascinating that in many cases, we’re looking at light that left it’s source before the Earth even existed. I understand it, but it still blows me away.
I hear a lot of people talk about how little NASA has done since the Apollo program and it simply isn’t true. We know more than ever about the universe and it’s a great time to be alive.
Wonderful presentation with really a great question and answer period. I wish I was healthier and more intelligent, but I appreciate that we have so many bright and dedicated people that share what they can do with me. Thank you.
I just love the enthusiasm of this young lady. Just a lovely person. We are in good hands
with people like this working on these incredibly complicated theories.

Relax man, wow, you're going to give yourself a nosebleed
Every science field needs more enthusiastic, charismatic ambassadors like her.
Dr Straughn was so well informed and capable of communicating it all to us in an inspired way.
Wonderful talk. Thank you Perimeter Institute, Gov of Canada an Ontario.
Fantastic rich Info on human knowledge ! Fantastic presentation of what’s going on on the boundaries of our knowledge and what is to come! For the people on the edge of end of life; like me at the age of 80, she gave us a chance to share the future with our grandchildren of our grand children.
Fantastic inspiration to push my personal ideas of the evolution of human society and its organization into the next few centuries!
Fantastic lecturer and story teller!
An amazing woman, her conception and the plastic presentation in this speed, where it is difficult to follow the thought is absolutely unique!
It is a pretty cool lecture that shows not only the brand-new space telescope but also a large amount of background knowledge behind it! Thanks for posing!
This thing has become really expensive, but if everything goes well the results will expand human knowledge incredibly! As an amateur astronomer I'm extremely excited!! I'll be praying at launch day for success
It's quite fascinating to be living in this time period where we can nearly stretch and dilate our understanding of the universe. Can not wait to see the first images sent back from the JWST!
My Physics students have something to look forward to. Go NASA!
It will be interesting to see just how wrong we are about the early universe, i look forwards to that.
You depend on NASA to give your students something to look forward to? Is that your job? To promote NASA and play "carrot and stick" with your students? You get that you're waiting for "radio telescope" images, right?
IF...it is ever launched, and what IF it doesn't work as Hubble didn't at first? Funding for a Do-over is dubious.
Lord l/R eliroi elroi I?
Amber, all documentaries should be performed by you. Informative in layman's terms, and enthusiastically fun.
One of the best things I've ever seen. Unbelievably exciting stuff, and she does an incredible job speaking about it. Such an inspiration.
Great talk. Wonderful speaker. Thank you.
Agreed, good lecture.
Self test: If you think the equations in the speaker's background are discussed, presented, or relevant -- you are a dupe.
The vocal fry drives me mad too
What’s a »vocal fry«? The high notes, or when Dr Straughn’s voice cracks or skips? Urban Dictionary doesn’t seem to have it.
Here we are Dec 24 2021. Launch day at last… We’re so excited in South Africa.. its here at last… history being made and we can witness it!!! Amazing!!!
The excitement just can't escape her even when her breath does from talking for an hour and a half! I love it!
Very interesting and informative presentation. Thank you Dr. Staughn and PI!
Dr. Amber Straughn did such an amazing job, I'm a fan and will be looking out for more 👍🏼
Perv
Wow! What a brilliant speaker.
No doubt about her passion for this mission.
Dr Straughn's passion for her work is infectious. This a phenomenal lecture that I've watched several times now. Just phenomenal. Thank you so much for posting this.
I couldn’t be more excited about the James Webb telescope
As was mentioned in her intro., I first saw this Brilliant and Beautiful Woman on the Science Channel on a couple of different shows but especially my Personal Favorite, "How The Universe Works"!!
I have learned Much from many of the Commentators but this Lady is truly one of the Best!! Without a Doubt.
Very informative and insightful lecture.
August 8th 2021: There are superlatives beyond my grasp to describe the courageous Dr. Amber Straughn and Nasa's JWST Team that are collaborating to create this entity to discover 'The Wider Reality'. I have tempered my expectations on the launch date which is the least a JWST fan can do and I have set ambitious personal goals to coincide with the launch date!! Thank you for your inspiration. Best of Irish Luck to everyone.
I will be an absolute nervewreck until this thing catches first light and survives it!
Its one painful wait. Im scared with that origami thing with hundreds of steps it has to do to unfold.... Imagine the last week before all of it's done. :0
Well done Dr. Straughn. I worked at JPL as an optical engineer on Hubble's WF/P Camera, Cassini and others. Some good people and exciting projects.
I don't think we fully appreciate the fact that we will know whether or not we are alone in the Universe by 2020. Humanity's most ancient question answered by this incredible piece of engineering.
What a great being!!! She is awesome.
Love amber. Dunno how I missed this. She is one of the most engaging speakers I've ever seen. She didn't say anything I didn't know but this is a few years old and I stay current. I would love to be like her.
Man I love this woman. She's so amazing
I live old cat women. growl.
Oh yeah I am in love! She loves my fav band too, Pearl Jam.
shes a pilot too she owns a Cessna
From LA (Lower Arkansas)!
I LOVE HER MORE THAN YOU.
This is great, it has been hard to find both informative and engaging information on what's coming with JWST. Thanks and go Amber!
Great talk.Very inspiring! Keep up the good work NASA. Thanks
She is well informed and one can feel her passion for the project. Good luck to the JWST. Everything has to work perfectly. A thousand things could go wrong and there is no way to repair it. Hopefully it will be as successful as Hubble. Can't wait for the first pictures.
Please, don't compare with Hubble. It was repaired multiple time to be still useful. Also it was useless since the beginning until first repair. JWST musn't repeat errors, like it was with Hubble production.
How exciting to be able to work on something like that. I'm sure it's stressful but the rewards certainly seem worth. We're learning more about our universe than ever before and pushing technological boundaries. I'm hoping for a successful launch and deployment.
My God! The topic is not so easy. The whole structure was built piece by piece and it took billions of years to erect. Nor is the answer to the big questions like: is the universe finite? Is there one universe or are there multiverses? What is dark matter? Or dark energy? To sum things up: never give up. I wish the whole world could participate in such a grandiose project. Good luck m'am... I'm eager to see JWST in space... touch wood
We need to get the documentary producers for the big tv stations to get her up into the public eye on a larger scale
The Brian Cox and dr Grasses we already have it's time for someone like this lady also. Wouldn't that be great ...!
Amazing! Thank you so much! It is so exciting!
This lecture came to me on π-day.. Coincidence? I think not. Thank you Algorithm of Punnery!
This was an amazing presentation by Dr. Amber Straughn. I speculate that someday during the JWST mission it might become serviceable. The increasing sophistication of autonomous robotic spacecraft devices and vehicles as well as the increasing capability of heavy launch vehicles might make it feasible to send vehicles and even astronauts to the lagrange point.
hopefully
@@kamilkucharski1996 I am fairly optimistic. In my opinion it is only a matter of time before the space agencies and corporations are able to negotiate deeper solar system space permanently. Today there are satellites around Mars our star and other planets relaying information and monitoring the surface. Within 100 years I can see a permanent station of scientists on the Moon doing large telescope-based astronomy (radio astronomy obviously and perhaps infra-red astronomy etc.) and perhaps at the Lagrange points monitoring the mega-telescopes placed there.
Great lecture. When I did my astrophysics degree, we didn't even know how old the universe was (it was "somewhere between 10 and 20 billion years old"), and the year I started, we found the first exoplanet. That made me want to specialise in exoplanets following my degree. But unfortunately I never got that far. I finished my degree and left astrophysics behind. With so many discoveries of exoplanets now, I wish I'd have stuck with it!
It still amazes me that we have (or will very soon have) the technology to be able to determine the chemical composition of a planet passing a star tens or hundreds of light years away. Mind blowing stuff.
Yes- you too can participate in advancing your own understanding of the solar system and universe! A great presentation, thanks
Thank you for the instructive and well-presented lecture on a popular science.
Let alone the lady lecturer is a brightest star looming on the firmament of the sky... Witty, charming and eloquent... I couldn't ask for more...
very good lecture. i loved it
Very nice lecture , This is for future of mankind on the planet Earth , So many more telescopes are needed
Excellent presentation!
My lady, now that JWST is up and about to be online, I do hope you will give another talk. You are stunningly beautiful, both physically and intelligently! It is a pleasure to hear you speak so passionately about such mesmerizing data and with such a knowledge of our universe. Excellent presentation! 👏
Brilliant and explained clearly. Something positive to look forward to 2018.
Wow! Such an inspiring lecture. Thank you.
The mysteries of the multiverses may not get resolved with this JWST project but might be a mere step in that direction. We need the entire humanity participating in this quest using cognitive computing to gain knowledge, wisdom and perspective.
Of course you need all pieces of data. I think most Scientists know you need as many data sets as possible, in order to understand the universe. NASA is very good at integrating as many data sets as possible. That's the beauty of their technology.
Here are other data points that needs to be included: onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=A93EB2435BBCDE67&resid=A93EB2435BBCDE67!380&app=PowerPoint
Actually, the data point *YOU* forgot about that would make you supplementary data points a reality is...........................................................................*INTELLECTUALISM*.......................................We live in an *ANTI-INTELLECTUAL* society. Most people don't believe and will not support OR study the talking points in your link. People want to be governed, especially by a Hollywood star that doesn't constantly babble about math and physics based subject matters..............It won't work..........unless a hybrid is born........and even then the forces of evil will be fighting to maintain human ignorance.....and there will still need to be enough intellects to support the hybrid.
All intelligence s be they organic ( biological) and non-organic ( AI, robotic,SiFi) are the products of mathematical phenomena. Mathematics, numbers, topology, structures and such are similarly the outcomes of relationships of states, matter, energy and many such entities of awareness. Time is another word to describes relationships. Consciousness might be an echo/reflection/refraction of various relationships.
Great to listen to Dr. amber on Webb.....!!! so much to learn.
She's amazing and so talented. She made learning fun.
A wonderful lecture. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this video! The JWST will be one hell of an observatory.
I'm really exciting about this mission.
She reminds me of Judie Foster in the movie "Contact" so much Enthusiam for the astrophysics...amazing
Jodie
Dr. Amber Straughn is awesome.
so hyped after finally getting a successful launch!
An amazing presentation and a very exciting time for astronomy. So happy to find the PI site.
What a wonderful speaker!
I just love you and all those ppl who sitting there and listening carefully to what you said :))
A very good presentation. I loved the question, "How do you study dark matter?" from the audience participant. Is it worth it? Absolutely, positively YES!
Look at the reaction to the criticism of this lecture. Nothing but expletives! That is what you get when you study dark matter. All the crap comes out.
+QUAN
Your edu = brainwashing. Your edu resulted in using expletives -- for that's all you know.
What an inspiring, beautifull, intelligent and passionate lady - and what exciting times we live in.
Great lecture, very informative and well delivered.
I like the loving, inspiring and respectful way her mother handled her daughter's curiosity. Love matters!
Amazing lecture. I love it.
A very informative and well presented talk.
i cant even comprehand the collective work on the telescope that has been done by this big team of scientist (who each are waaayy smarter than i am) working for decades. Let alone the stuff JWST will actually see, and what to make of it. everything about this is mindblowing to me
Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet?
No, but we're stopping at Macca's soon ;)
Website says "launching in 2021!"... 😞
No. No. No. No! No!! 😜
It’s a shame that some 151 viewers ‘disliked’ this amazing presentation, the first hand information!
Most probably Christian zealots
Russian troll bots.
Great lecture, thanks.
So inspiring! Congratulations.
Great lecture/presentation delivered with passion and enthusiasm Amber. Sorry to hear the JWT launch has had to be delayed, but better late than never. GO TEAM NASA.
Nice job Amber!
beauty and mind a pleasure to listen and watch
great informative and interesting talk ..!!
Excellent!!!
Raise your hand if you witnessed JWST's launch and deployment go smoothly! I can't wait for the first images in a few months!
Wow, so awesome and great information! Aww i love the presenter too! Great talk, her voice was even cracking or such because she was so excited/emotional! ahh awesome lecture Dr. Amber Staughn!!
Wonderful Presentation.. I wish college teacher become like her 😃
2019 almost over and still testing. Thats fine because we got one chance.
And we're still testing! Hope all is well atill
Agree. We have 1 chance. So make it right
DJ Sifu Will I understand what you mean when I've watched the entire video?
2020 almost over and still testing...
It's 2021 and its still not launched.
Wonderful lecture!
So basically without James Webb and his scientific approach, NASAs most common answer to the big questions I guess would be "God knows". Thank you James Webb.
ziggololo
Actually NASA is very careful in choosing the wording terms it uses. You can bet that “God” would be on a secret (secret meaning it’s existence is only known to those that edit press releases) list of banned words lol
I really loved the passion, intellect and enthusiasm with which the telescope was presented by Dr. Straughn. It gives me hope for NASA and our Society in general. The Q and A session answered some very interesting questions, especially about dark energy (which no one understands) but makes me wonder why it cannot used in combination in trying to figure out dark matter, the scaffolding of galaxies? One other question I would have been interested in (as an Atheist lol) is whether or not Dr. Straughn sees a created Universe and how that relates to the possibility of a Multiverse. Btw, I've seen many beautiful images of Mars, but has anyone ever recorded sounds on Mars? I guess I'll have to Google that next. As a final thought, I wish there would be one hour a month where all the lights in a city are turned off, so we all can get closer and in touch with the Universe and our Milky Way Galaxy for it is where we come from....we are Stardust.
So excited about the James Webb telescope. Praying its panels open and the optics are OK, also that the people calculating the trajectory to put it into orbit used the correct units :).
Thanks for the PL PI, and thanks doc.
What red shift will JWST be able to probe ?
Very good this video. NASA and James Wedd Space Telescope
Bruh, it's Webb not Wedd
"Is it worth it?" 1000% !
Thank you
As we have seen a successful launch, positioning, alignment and setup. The first real images will be coming out any day now.
The wait has been excruciating, with more anticipation than molasses in January. Now we are really ready.
Yahoo! And congrats.
Great Lecture.
Fantastic
I’m sending this story, to the children 👧 which builds our future life journey, and makes them understand that, even without any tools like telescope, and spaceships, we’ll be able to discover, the unknown phenomenon in the space and universes!
Very interesting lecture!
Congratulations to the James Webb engineers on their practical success, and even more so to the modern physicist theorists who emphasize the "M" theory. I thank Canada for holding such congresses.
An amazing project. I'm sure there are 6 dozen problems faced in this design that I'd have said "It's too hard", but fortunately they were bolder than me.
Thanks. Fingers crossed for Christmas Eve, 2021.
What's that on the blackboard with the purple chalk? Stellar structure equations?
Amazing lecture. The only gripe: Why don't they have the slide projected on the screen (throughout) all the time and put the speaker as a tiny box something they did around 6:40.
For example I would have loved to see the slide she was discussing around 19:40 in a much greater detail.
