Just came across this on TV. It's in Discovery Science right now and on +1 in 30 mins.

A documentary about repair work required on the hubble and the mission to perform them.

Absolutely no idea if it's any good or complete garbage, but I thought it worth mentioning.

THose missions were incredible and a much overlooked masterpiece of engineering and improvisation.

Thoroughly enjoyable documentary.

Agreed Kirkster. What those people did on that mission was absolutely sensational.

I watched it. It was a majestic feat to carry out those repairs to Hubble. I didn't realise what they went through. Watching from the comfort of terra firma it was hard to imagine just how difficult some of the tasks were.

When I see the incredible images taken by the Hubble I will always remember this.
