Some people will appreciate these photos, some will be let down because their expectation were too high. Given the time, money, man power, engineering and straight up stress of putting this thing in orbit in L2, then getting it to unfold, calibrate and send us photos back, I can certainly appreciate some of the people who worked on this project and will utilize the data sent back being moved to tears.

Most people who sit from the comfort of their computer desks might not feel so moved because to them it's just an image on the screen and they were expecting something a bit more awe-inspiring (whatever that may be). Personally I felt moved as I zoomed in on the first deep field image and began to realize just how vast this universe is. My stupid little brain simply doesn't have the capacity to fully understand what I was seeing, nor the sheer scale. Tried explaining to my wife why it was so moving but we both agreed that as humans our brains simply don't have the CPU to fully process it.

Some people will be moved by certain forms of art such as paintings or music, some won't. We're all wired differently. But that doesn't change the fact that the JWST is a monumental scientific instrument that WILL change how we view the universe. FWIW I still find the original Hubble deep field image to the single most important image in history. Most certainly, JWST will challenge that photo at some point. We just don't know what it is yet.

Some people can find it boring, but I don't really give a #### what they think. I've waited a loooooong time for this thing to get built, get sent up and to send back data. Glad it's finally doing it's job!
