  Did you confuse NSA (American gestapo) with NASA (a bunch of nerds that really like space and use American funds to indulge that passion)?

    I’d totally pay for NSA+ to live-stream American phone calls and Internet traffic.

    No. Can u remind me again why nasa was invented? Was it something to do with a propaganda war with the USSR and a space race perhaps?

      Anything a government puts out can be seen as propaganda. Nobody is going to talk shit on themselves if they can avoid it.

      And yes govt tech usually has a military origin. Rocket motors, missile guidance systems, gps, computers, encryption, the internet. Just because they have some roots in military use or competition doesn’t mean they aren’t rad as hell.

      If you don’t want to watch it, nobody is forcing you to.

      I’m just picturing a guy in his garage hunched over his workbench tinkering away until one day, “Eureka! I’ve done it!” and that’s how the space agency was invented.

  I prefer the propaganda that allows some scientific progress compared to civilians massacres.

  Are you not familiar with NASA TV? It’s pretty interesting at times with science updates on their exploration programs like the Mars rovers and JWST. They also broadcast EVA’s and have interviews with people working in Mission Control and elsewhere. I like it a lot.

      Space is the only place where Russia and America are friends. Nasa only cares about politics as far as they need to to keep their funding. And even then they generally opt for less politics even when it means less funding.

        The only “politics” NASA plays is to advertise to the public how great the things they’re doing are because the more public support, the more funding they get.

        And nobody should be against that. Everything NASA does is toward scientific progress. The amazing things they’ve done on their miniscule budget should be lauded and they should be given a much higher proportion of the US budget than they are currently afforded.
