Yay! You mentioned something so exciting! I just so happen to have links to help people understand how it works!

They actually tour the facility in this video while a worker explains how things work!

This one is the both for adults and children as it explains in simple terms why we want to detect infrared light.

A list of videos about the components that make up the telescope from NASA

The JWST is a successor to the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes and will allow us to see further into space and more clearly than ever before! It is an infrared telescope that uses beryllium mirrors which work best and are stable when at extremely low temperatures (such as the vacuum of space) AND it is also very light weight. The mirrors are covered in a very thing layer of gold as well in order to increase its reflectivity. 18 of these hexagonal mirrors will make up the telescope which will fold out once in space. If everything goes well, we will have a better insight into deep space than we ever have before.

So. Exciting.

I was almost devastated when Congress reviewed it for cancellation in 2011. I'm so happy that they kept it around.

I suppose I’ll try and tackle the “elephant in the room” question.

  • Will there ever be more story content from the universe that Ellie and Joel live in centering around the two characters?

Also, as a more personal question, what was the hardest part about setting up a story and characters that were not entirely clichéd and set apart from the vast amount of other films and games based around zombie mythos?

Could you explain why Voyager recorded Saturn and it sounded like this?

Considering many here would love to do the same when their telecom in the area say NO to gigabit, how exactly did the process of lawsuits go? Is there a site with info on this already available because I know several towns and cities don't go for gigabit because they are told no.

I'm really excited as you are setting precedent on how to get rid of Comcast's and other ISPs "service". If you go into detail about how exactly you defeated big telecom in your area, many local governments elsewhere will have a blueprint on how to do it plus pressure from their citizens who want more than 3mbps for $70 a month.

Promise of revenue is certainly a great way to get many cities moving towards fiber! Thank you for the specific and excellent figure. Is there a record of the lawsuit available that we can read?
