As an aside. These sorts of missions have all sorts of objectives, look for dark matter, exoplanets, probe the origins of the universe. I would like to see one or two planned to "take the coolest pictures ever". Giving all the value and respect to those working in science, I sort of just want to see the pictures first(not cgi).
+1 for Dr. Becky's expertise and high content quality.
In theory, [] tags for length (19 minute) and starting with a 2-minute summary could be added to the title. In practice, I probably wouldn't bother either.

Just in case of time constraints or what not.

NASA has a crash course on Roman vs JWST that explains a lot (but Dr. Becky is still better)

and this is the launch info (Musk better not screw this up!)

JWST was previously the state-of-the-art with 28mbps downlink
Roman has 500mbps FROM L2 a MILLION MILES AWAY (1.5 million KM)
1.5TB download per day is beyond awesome
Roman.

I know video links aren't preferred but Dr. Becky is worth it, my favorite astrophysicist
