I think what you're really saying is you'd watch the movie version of this.

And considering there are no life or death stakes, it still wouldn't be as exciting as Apollo 13.

That might not be true though.

This guy took about 30 hours of video of him porting an 80s version of unix to the ESP8266. Warts and all -- live!

I've started to watch it and it's fascinating!

You could have a whole channel with different teams debugging satellite technology and if you're bored, it would probably be quite interesting. The bigger problem is most likely concerns about IP and secret protocols and so on.

I guess the last thing you want when you're debugging something during your work is for the whole word to watch over your shoulder.
