If you enjoy space documentaries you will Love Cosmic Dawn, the story behind the making of the James Web Space Telescope JWST. The cinematics are mind blowing but the story and the people behind this project was really special too. The project took around 3 decades. It describes their determination in the face of setbacks and naysayers. Notiby some people aged during the project and some small gems like the owner of the trucking company that transported JWST to the shipping facility drove the truck himself with his wife. It's a beautiful documentary testament to the human endurance and quest for knowledge thought the persuit of science.
