1
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:15,030
in a city that sees a never-ending

2
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:17,440
stream of visitors each day it takes a

3
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:20,080
lot for any newcomer to stand out

4
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:22,880
but then this visitor is no ordinary

5
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:23,920
guest

6
00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:25,760
you know i imagined it but i never

7
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:27,279
thought it would be this big it's just

8
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:28,960
it's spectacular

9
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:31,599
spectacular is this life-sized model of

10
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:33,920
the successor to nasa's hubble space

11
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:37,200
telescope its home temporarily is new

12
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:40,160
york city's battery park

13
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,840
when i first came in and i started i

14
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:43,440
thought it was a beehive because of the

15
00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:46,320
mirrors how it looks and the colors not

16
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,399
exactly a bee hive but an attention

17
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:50,640
grabber nonetheless

18
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:52,320
what brings the model of the james webb

19
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:54,800
space telescope to the big apple is the

20
00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:57,600
world science festival nearly a week of

21
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:00,239
science learning not in the classrooms

22
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:07,670
if we can get kids excited about science

23
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:09,280
that's fantastic and if we get their

24
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:11,520
parents excited that's even better

25
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:14,400
because that that they then help bring

26
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:18,960
their kids to these kinds of events

27
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:21,439
here people have a unique chance to get

28
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:23,920
up close and personal with a telescope

29
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:26,880
that looks like no other before it

30
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:29,200
you've got to consider things

31
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,799
differently when you want to put things

32
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:32,400
in space and that may end up looking

33
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:34,479
very weird on earth it's nice how the

34
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:36,880
kids and adults and parents see

35
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:38,560
what it really looks like even though

36
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:41,840
it's a model sure it's only a model but

37
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:44,399
it's also a great tool to show what's in

38
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,360
the not too distant future

39
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:49,360
it's wonderful many tourists coming to

40
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,960
new york so it's a great exposure for

41
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,640
the program just getting to know a

42
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:54,159
little bit more about science and a

43
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,759
little bit about the new innovations

44
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:57,600
around you is really important i'm glad

45
00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:59,280
to see that there's still

46
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,360
progress being made and

47
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:03,600
big projects being undertaken

48
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,000
a bold project to extend our future

49
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:08,399
vision to the farthest frontiers of the

50
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:09,440
universe
