00:00 When we look at the sky, beyond the stars in our Milky Way, we can only see darkness.
00:07 The James Webb Telescope is our next giant leap in our search for life.
00:12 To see the first galaxies in our universe.
00:15 That distant past is where creation happened.
00:19 We've never had the technology to see that first part of the story of the universe.
00:26 To be able to look back in time, to see the very first light.
00:32 Webb in the whole history of NASA's riskiest mission ever done.
00:36 We're putting the largest telescope in space, a million miles away.
00:41 If something goes wrong, that is $10 billion, more than two decades worth of work down the
00:46 drain just like that.
00:47 Any successful mission systems engineer who doesn't think there was luck involved is either
00:52 a fool or a liar.
00:53 Those first images will help us get closer to answering those questions of where did
01:01 we come from, how did we get here, are we alone.
01:05 That's our history right there.
01:07 It is our whole history.
01:08 The universe is so big, there's got to be evolved conscious life out there.
01:14 The James Webb Space Telescope will fundamentally change the way we understand the universe.
