Thanks for this great video and for promoting the awesomeness of what we astronomers do or intend to do. At 2:20 : "when they work together, they can achieve exceptionally high angular resolution". This is true but then this is incorrect: ", or in other words they can see details 25 times fainter...". It should be "finer" not "fainter". When they work together coherently to make interference fringes, they do see finer details but they do not see fainter ones as (because of the number of optical elements to recombine their beams) they rather loose in sensitivity. This is the VLTI. When the light is combined incoherently (no fringes, big fiber optics) as for the ESPRESSO instrument, then they can achieve a higher sensitivity, see fainter. However the instrument then does not see finer details. With respect to the JWST, I also like better then end of the video when you talk about ELT and JWST as complementary ("work in tandem") rather than in competition. They are really complementary in fact, in many ways. Finally there is another very very minor comment: the "twinkling of a star" is the product of atmospheric variations in intensity (not in phase). As a result, it's not really correct to talk about the wobbling of the star in the presence of turbulence, which would be phase disturbances, the ones that big telescopes must really correct with adaptive optics to recover their optics' spatial resolution. This is way too much information for an outreach video and it's definitely not easy to bring those concept to the public. Also, intensity variations originate from phase variations too and are linked ;)

Soviet Union was also a major leader in Fusion research something thats crawling at an ant speed right now. After all, science has to rely on PUBLIC funding and state sponsorship.

Only if it possesses a conscious AI and is plotting a monopoly or the total domination of the human species. Also, I'm on the side of the winner, don't really give a **** which one beats the other. Plus, the JWST is a specialized scope made for Infrared studies specifically, so it's really like saying a lemon is superior to a lime, which I'd vehemently disagree with. Also also... there is such a thing as networking and data sharing. That's how most astronomy is done across the world. Thus, a given technology in the USA can be integrated with technology anywhere else in the world, and the results combined and thus dramatically enhanced. One tiny step closer to a planetary sized telescope. The tech going into this thing is just so amazing. Very impressed and very excited for it.
