Explanation:
дубляж - это лишь вариант, предложенный выполнившим его переводчиком.
never в Past Indefinite имеет значение "так и не", то есть предложенные выше вариант звучал бы на русском "Небо так и не увидело"
для пущей эмоциональной нагрузки используется конструкция "so ... a ...", вместо "such a ..."
shameful - по аналогии с ярко эмоционально окрашенной фразой "shame on you" - "позор!"
