The team, they were always amazing people.
00:00:04.503 --> 00:00:06.589
I consider it a leadership issue.
00:00:07.059 --> 00:00:10.384
We run the risk of scratching
and damaging the mirror,
00:00:10.468 --> 00:00:12.219
so we have to be very careful about that.

[THOMAS] What I needed to do
is replace leaders
00:00:15.765 --> 00:00:17.183
to bring that team together
00:00:17.266 --> 00:00:21.052
and create the attention that it requires
to do something this magnificent.

And then I think that's what happened.
00:00:28.277 --> 00:00:30.404
I remember the day where I basically...
00:00:30.488 --> 00:00:33.998
For the first time,
I was really surprised.
00:00:34.408 --> 00:00:35.701
The two halves,
00:00:36.327 --> 00:00:39.955
the primary mirror and the sunshield,
they had to come together.
00:00:42.075 --> 00:00:45.169
I knew that was going to be really hard.
00:00:46.253 --> 00:00:48.881
They had never seen each other,
those two halves.
