Yep. Would have been really boring if we just watched them all die of old age though.

I dunno. I'm getting tolerant of boredom in my old age.

Nobody wants to watch Star Trek The Service Departments for an hour every day. A show featuring Burt the Plumber Mate First Class that fixes the toilet transporter units that send the turds to Klingon territory, Larry the IT Warrant Officer that fixes the captains intergalactic email and turns the ships computer off and back on and Marg the frazzled HR Lieutenant that has to keep replacing security staff every two days... Shit, I actually would like to watch that!
Sounds like the Space Quest game series from Sierra Online back in the day...

There is no reason it has to always be on the front, particularly when there are no windows just fabuously large displays.
Fuck physics. What about good engineering? Sigh.
