[1]BrianFagioli shares a report from NERDS.xyz:
> NASA is [2]coming to Netflix . No, not a drama or sci-fi reboot. The space agency is actually bringing real rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, and even views of Earth from space directly to your favorite streaming service. Starting this summer, [3]NASA+ will be available on Netflix, giving the space-curious a [4]front-row seat to live mission coverage and other programming .
>
> The space agency is hoping this move helps it connect with a much bigger audience, and considering Netflix reaches over 700 million people, that's not a stretch. This partnership is about accessibility. NASA already offers NASA+ for free, without ads, through its app and website. But now it's going where the eyeballs are. If people won't come to the space agency, the space agency will come to them.

I suspect that this is simply another feed. Their other feeds such as cable channels and websites will still be available.
I watch the channel occasionally. Unfortunately the feed from my provider never matches the index, but it makes for great background noise.

Hopefully this is the case. Otherwise they should just be streaming off something like youtube which just about every smart tv has an app for and is free for all to use to view.

"Television" as we know it is going the way of A.M. radio.
Nearly obsolete.
