Space: The final free tier.

and every conservative congresscritter, for some reason. 'couldn't this be done in the private sector'
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.
Walmart CEO definitely relies on taxes, food stamps, WIC, and other programs. ISP CEOs took tax money for Internet upgrades and did nothing. Multiple bailouts for business that they squandered on stock buyback.

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
Strikes me as tongue-in-cheek.
The release date is November 8th.
It may mean, NASA content plus other content they feel is appropriate to the service.
I don't usually think "paid service" when I see the plus symbol added to something.
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.
I have a huge list of trippy & visual movies, tons of variety if you're interested in picking through it for ideas: https://letterboxd.com/bee_tea/list/background-movies-for-house-parties

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? 😭
My deepest sympathies to all 3 of you.
Lol you joke but that includes every LG OLED tv sold to date
Don't most with one have a better box?
Usually yes, Plex is slow as shit but honestly iPlayer is still fantastic even on a b7 2017 oled.

Who will think of all the palm pre's out there
Don't say that... I'm planning on getting an LG
Get a streaming stick. The hardware TV manufacturers use to run their OS is generally bottom of the barrel and is sluggish as hell.
Their OLED panels are top notch, so don't sleep on it. Just get a separate streaming device as the experience on Roku, Android TV and Apple TV is just miles better.

*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
Nice
If it's called NASA Plus, how is it free? The "plus" means it goes a step beyond their free content and into a paid tier.
Don't get me wrong this is absolutely fantastic I adore NASA and space, but they're just be some hidden cost? Otherwise it wouldn't be a streaming service called NASA Plus, right?
I don't think everyone sat down and agreed to that being what plus means. It's like labeling food as organic, it means nothing. It's just a name. Odd thing to obsess over, you'll get nowhere trying to understand marketing people, just let it go.
What they are adding is a more condensed experience accessing NASA content and making it easier for casual viewers to access. The more people paying attention to science the better. I think this is a fantastic move from NASA
Looks like they refer to adding their Science wing into the streaming, too.
In this crazy capitalist world peiple started forgetting that public services can be free, like, for real :D
*Paid for with taxes, not free.
If I need to pay taxes anyway, at least I prefer to have the investment returned back to me in some way, and this seems like a nice way to do so.
Jokes on you, I'm not an American so it really is free for me!

plus just means more I think, they're adding to their service so it's "plus"
just because that's usually a hook to get you to pay more doesn't mean that's now the definition of the word
