So much potential here. They could have used this documentary as an opportunity to educate the public about the amazing science behind JWST, instead they focused most of the documentary on forced drama as if it were another brainless reality TV show. Topics they could have covered to better illustrate and educate the magic:
What is red shifting and tangible explanations on why the JWST is needed over the Hubble.
The groundbreaking use of beryllium for the mirrors and why the element was selected for its unusual properties at cryogenic temperatures.
The cryo coolers and how their novel design allows it to cool the instruments down to near absolute zero.
The damaged mirror and how the JWST is able to overcome it.
The unusual approach of physically deforming the mirror to focus the image.
Etc etc.... Could have been great but instead they took a story about one of the greatest scientific achievements in human history and chose to dumb it down to nearly worthless drivel.
