In this week's questions show, I tackle all the questions about James Webb generated by the videos we did this week. Can it be refueled? How can it see the entire sky? Is the delay a blessing? And more...

00:30 How will JWST run out of propellant?

03:12 Are there spacecraft that could service JWST?

05:00 Can JWST only see half the sky?

08:21 Is the delay a blessing in disguise?

10:58 Why not construct it in Low Earth Orbit?

13:09 Could we build a copy?

14:29 Could JWST use gravitational lensing?

15:55 Will JWST image black holes?

17:52 Is the telescope an antique?

18:49 Should we look or explore?

20:52 Could it find vegetation?

22:00 Is James Webb already a failure?

Want to be part of the questions show? Ask a short question on any video on my channel. I gather a bunch up each week, and answer them here.
