NASA is getting in on the “+” streaming action. The government agency announced that it’s going to launch a new streaming service later this year called NASA+. The ad-free, no-cost streaming service will include live coverage of future launches, documentaries and new original series that will be exclusively available on the platform.

I’m very excited to see what they do with this.
NASA and scientific research in general has a huge marketing problem - too mqny people think science is boring and only for nerds. They also think it is easy or possibly even made-up.
Regular people just don’t understand the amount of work that goes into scientific research and they also don’t understand the limitations of it as well as the amiunt of checks and balances that discoveries need to go through. We are all familiar with bullshit science fiction of Hollywood movies,but few understand what it takes to really develop a new rocket or plan a space mission.
We need NASA+ to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. We also need it to get folks excited again about exploring space. It’s far easier to get funding from Congress for these missions when the general population is excited to hear about discoveries. NASA needs to use this channel as a way to get regular folks interested in their research and hype up various missions and discoveries.
Will the subscription fee be astronomical?
Well, no because it’s paid for by taxes.
Unless you consider federal taxes astronomical, then yes!
Come on, I was being cheeky. NASA, astronomical…
Cool idea, but I think it would be more effective outreach if they got it on the platforms people already use. It’s a lot easier to watch when it’s right next to other content.
NaSA+…? Why not Nasaverse? Something original
Nasaverse is their upcoming AI meets VR startup.
