People don't appreciate how incrediable complex and difficult that mission was. There was no way a robot could have done it back then and even today very unlikely. And people talk about building stuff in space like its nothing difficult.
I'm finding the background "music" really hard to deal with. It doesn't match the tone or pace of the narrative or the visual content at all. Net effect is really unsettling and distracting for me. (You do have the absolute most banging title music though, I turn that one up! Especially love the bit that's synced with the Delta 4 Heavy liftoff.)
I'm thinking that S26 is/will be an HLS test article. I don't know if the legal stuff from the HLS compete is over though. Maybe if/when we see new thrusters around the middle we will know.
There may be a chance Hubble now is unservicable in orbit right now. Some of the bolts were stuck or stripped when they removed parts from the last service mission. Now has been a long gap in time so many more bolts will be nearly impossible to remove. Break 1 bolt and it may be game over. Bring it back safely then service it and put back in orbit. Or just build a new one entirely
