When a clever ad writer can tie in medals, the Olympics, etc.. I wouldn't focus in on how much gold is in this mama.. Praying it works.. the over sell is over kill..
Not only does #Webb #goforthegold with its gold-coated mirrors, it also vies for the #silvermedal with its sunshield. The sunshield layers, which are actually coated with aluminum, protect #Webb’s optics and instruments from the sun’s heat. #winterolympics #pyeongchang2018 #JWSTpic.twitter.com/bwmVFHkUfN

As long as you're protected from any possible solar flare from the Sun. If not, your web would fail.

I wish I didn't have to wait another year for this thing to get into space. Just can't imagine what kind of amazing images we are going to see.

Presumably it will protect it from other radiations too, such as gamma, X rays,radio waves,all of the ones used by Martian crews.??

It is not! We're actually orbiting the Sun, in line with the Earth, with our sunshield blocking the light & heat from the Earth/Sun/Moon at all times. More here: http://jwst.nasa.gov/orbit.html
