It takes a government agency to turn something that is, in the abstract, fascinating and thrilling and turn it into ‘meh’. NASA TV for example - live 24×7 coverage of the Shuttle.

And it’s duller ‘n dirt. I”m not saying they shouldn’t do what they’re doing. But … couldn’t they jazz it up a little? Music videos, live animation, puppets .. something.
