Welcome to The List,

Everybody has a streaming service these days, so why not NASA?  Seriously.  NASA+ is coming sometime later this year, and get this:  It's gonna be FREE, with NO COMMERCIALS. So what will we get from NASA+?  I know what you're thinking, but so far there's been no mention of aliens or UFOs.  What they WILL offer is live coverage of things like rocket launches, plus original video series. NASA+ will be available as an app, and also on Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, and on the Web.
