    I am a great fan of National Geographic. You, guys, shoot ingenious films. What I didn't expect from you that you didn't make a film about batteries. There were technical series for engineers like 'Big, Bigger, Biggest' that were capable of being watched by old guys with their wifes. That's the series my wife watched without annoying debates. We, the workers, still don't know the evolution of the batteries, and it's obvious that we need better ones to what we have today. Batteries: The Great Change. From first electricity experiments to Tesla batteries. No one can do that, if you will not. Only you are capable of doing that. (I come from the Russian Federation.)

      Not the primary goal. Pay attention to her list of objectives. "ARE WE ALONE?" is #4 and only interjected by the politicos in NASA. This objective will require the JWST to be pointed toward two of the brightest stars in the Universe, which could fry the sensitive IR optics.
