NASA is launching a free streaming service with live shows and original series

NASA has announced a new streaming service called NASA+ that’s set to hit most major platforms next week. It’ll be completely free, with no subscription requirements, and you won’t be forced to sit through ads. NASA+ will be available starting November 8.

I’m critical because Peacock was free until it wasn’t.

Most of the content was produced with taxpayer support, but cable providers only allow premium cable subscribers to view it. This seems like an abuse.

...or smart TV, afaik.

I cut the cable years ago and get all the content I want with just my Comcast Home Business internet account plus Prime, Netflix, maybe one or two others with a fee.
But NASA is free to stream.
