I was thinking the same thing. I was waiting for the usfirst.org URL to pop up, but it wasn't shown once. People have commented that 1 hour wasn't long enough to explain everything about FIRST. Most advertisements today are 30 second commercials which end with a URL to go learn more. Why was there no URL?
In general, I got the message that science was cool, and these FIRST people do, but it was missing the "and you can do it to".
Overall, the special was good, not great. I think Dean hit the nail on the head with creating FIRST based on a sports model, but I am always disappointed that almost all (except for MSC) TV specials show very little match play. I think if Will.i.am produces another special next year it should be a combination of the MSC program and the I.AM.FIRST program. FIRST needs fans, competition brings fans, not documentaries.
