Yea some animation. Did they run out of money or why there aren't few real time webcams on board?

What for? Also, considering that the sail is supposed to shield it from Sun's light and radiation I don't think the camera would pick up anything else than black... At that point whatever instruments and sensors they have is way more useful to them than a camera

Clearly we could aim an outdated telescope at it and track its movements and how it's proceding.Obviously more fake news like the moon landing and a "round Earth." ¦]
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Could have a small flashlight that they would turn on for 5ms to take the pic. They would get more public support from people like me if they delivered something else than animations that could be done without shooting anything into space.

Awwww, ... ain't that cute. A general FAQ NASA already explained in all its fine details.
The only thing you need to do, if you really like to know (and learn something outside you personal little bubble of interest), is to find it.

JWST made it to L2. (without a single hiccup) 8-)

Lets hope the small minded dictators and autocrats of the human world don't trow in an other global wrench in its current development.
(For the, still primitive hunter gatherers we are, where not doing badly. I'm sure a lot other similar species, far far away, that did not evolve passed this initial mindset, never made it this far.)
