The team, they were always amazing people. I consider it a leadership issue. We run the risk of scratching
and damaging the mirror, so we have to be very careful about that. [THOMAS] What I needed to do
is replace leaders to bring that team together and create the attention that it requires
to do something this magnificent. Right, so you want the energy,
"Yes, we're going to do this." And then I think that's what happened. I remember the day where I basically... For the first time,
I was really surprised. The two halves, the primary mirror and the sunshield,
they had to come together. I knew that was going to be really hard. They had never seen each other,
those two halves. All the systems,
all the cables, everything had to work. [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
