Netflix has come a long way from sending out DVDs in the post.
Not only is it the largest streaming service in the world, but also a major player in Hollywood.
And, their next move might be the most exciting yet as Netflix has officially announced a collaboration with NASA to air live programming related NASA+.
Tudum states:
- Starting later this summer, you’ll find NASA+ live feeds in the Netflix interface alongside your favorite series.
- Expect rocket launches, mission coverage, and real-time ISS vistas — all streaming in HD glory.
- NASA+ remains free on the NASA app and NASA.gov; Netflix is simply another (very handy) window into the great beyond.
- Detailed schedules drop closer to launch day, so check back to Tudum for more details in the coming weeks.
The ability to watch footage from the space station and take in jaw-dropping views of Earth has always been available, but NASA are collaborating with Netflix to reach yet more people, with Netflix said to be used in 700 million households around the world.
“Our Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience,” Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+, explained.
“Together, we’re committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration — inspiring new generations — right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone.”
