no cost

I think the head of a CEO somewhere just exploded.

and every conservative congresscritter, for some reason. 'couldn't this be done in the private sector'

[-] oce@jlai.lu 22 points 7 months ago

CEOs are usually not relying as much on taxes. That's why it's free, this is a way to justify tax usage by developing public outreach.

With this being a free service, I feel like calling it NASA+ is a bit misleading. To me, I feel like the "+" indicates a paid, premium service. If it wasn't for the title of this post that clarifies that it's free, I probably wouldn't have even considered installing the app based on the name, alone.

Either way, this is great news! I'm probably gonna check this out once it's available. I wish they'd have a release date, though. The official page just says "Coming soon".

Feels very much like they're just following the trend of a bunch of streaming services that just add a + to the end. As long as it's good though I don't think it matters much

I think Paramount ++good sounds promising

[-] ItsMeSpez@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Strikes me as tongue-in-cheek.

Huh. There's no geolock on this either? Fantastic. As a Canadian I tend to get blocked from this kind of stuff. This will be super cool. Might even replace my LCARS screensaver after years of use

Ever since Canada created the elegantly named "Canadarm", NASA and Canada have been besties.

To say nothing of possibly the greatest Astronaut to fly to the Space Station: Chris Hadfield

I posted on Lemmy about needing recommendations for movies to watch on shrooms....and then minutes later stumble across this article.

Talk about perfect timing, lol.

This is really starting to feel like a perfect replacement for that...other website.

NASA+ will be available on most major platforms via the NASA App on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices; streaming media players such as, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV; and on the web across desktop and mobile devices.

What's the betting it won't be on LG's WebOS though? 😭

[-] 474D@lemmy.world 70 points 7 months ago

My deepest sympathies to all 3 of you.

[-] dlpkl@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

We know it's ad-free and zero cost, but will it be DRM-free as well?

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 52 points 7 months ago

I'm not sure if US government IP is legally allowed to be DRM'd.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 37 points 7 months ago

Not only is it not allowed to be DRM'd, "US government IP" is itself an oxymoron: stuff published by the government is Public Domain, so it doesn't even count as "intellectual property [sic]" to begin with.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 25 points 7 months ago

Yeah, it’s paid for by taxpayers, so it’s all fair use.

Most NASA stuff is published under non affiliation free use license - you can do what ever you like with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of the content is already freely downloadable from somewhere...

*Previously on Desperate Spacewives...

Sam has just kicked out of the airlock apartment by his wife Karen. Would his other woman save him from radiation and lack of oxygen? Tune in to this episode of Desperate Spacewives
