Awesome! When I think about what the Hubble telescope did for our conception of the universe (the ultra-deep field comes to mind), I'm so excited to see what new horizons the JWST will be able to bring us. According to the Popular Mechanics article, the launch will be Oct 2018, then another 6 months before images are sent back to Earth (read: get hype for Apr 2019).
