How did NASA engineers build and launch the most ambitioustelescope of all time? Follow the dramatic story of the JamesWebb Space Telescope—the most complex machine ever launchedinto space. If it works, scientists believe that this new eyeon the universe will peer deeper back in time and space thanever before to the birth of galaxies, and may even be able to"sniff" the atmospheres of exoplanets as we search for signs oflife beyond Earth. But getting it to work is no easy task. Thetelescope is far bigger than its predecessor, the famousHubble Space Telescope, and it needs to make its observationsa million miles away from Earth—so there will be no chance togo out and fix it. That means there's no room for error; themost ambitious telescope ever built needs to work perfectly.Meet the engineers making it happen and join them on their highstakes journey to uncover new secrets of the universe.
