Summary quoted below. More details, images, and a cool animation here.

The James Webb Space Telescope will not be in orbit around the Earth, like the Hubble Space Telescope is - it will actually orbit the Sun, 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) away from the Earth at what is called the second Lagrange point or L2. What is special about this orbit is that it lets the telescope stay in line with the Earth as it moves around the Sun. This allows the satellite's large sunshield to protect the telescope from the light and heat of the Sun and Earth (and Moon).

Was the blank a forging or casting, and Beryllium is a banned materiel in most places now.

The "blank" is made by the process of Hot Isostatic Pressing. The beryllium used is more-or-less in a powder form and it is then "pressed" in a "mold" under very high pressure and temperature.

ONLY ON PLANET KKKRANKY. The use of beryllium and beryllium-containing materials is not banned, restricted or otherwise limited by any country worldwide.

just an FYI - Beryllium is certainly not a banned material. In it's pure and alloyed forms it is used all the time in aerospace applications, and will be for a long time because it has unique properties.

OSHA and the DoD are now more sensitive about its handling and machining and there are warnings, but nothing really crazy.
Fine Be dust or BeO is what you need to be careful with as it can cause lung issues and cancer. Handling solid Be isn't an issue at all, but it is recommended to treat it like you handled Pb....don't eat, don't smoke, don't lick your fingers, and wash your hands well after handling it.

Trivia bonus points - some 1911 brands used to use BeCu as their frame material and it is used in musical instruments like tambourines, too.

Yeah, we use beryllium compounds in aerospace applications. It is just a hassle to work with, and probably why Crankit thought it was banned, as he couldn't work with it in his shop due to the protocols (no sanding, collect all residuals, must do training, etc.). expect to continue to hear more about the Lagrange points.

The arms are extended!!!! next is for the shields to be tightened up!

crankit once had a Beryllium enema and i think that is maybe what he is talking about!!!!

LOL, well played burry!

(Actually, I had one after an injury. The tech introduced herself as "Hi, my name is Olga and I'll be giving you the procedure". I was like awwwww crap....
She was actually really nice and had a great sense of humor.)

Methinks burry is confused (hopefully not age related) about his Barium enema, which is radioactive whereas beryllium can be carcinogenic and would not be used as an enema!

Quite impressive, as were the maths involved.

I really hope they pull it off with no hitches.
