NASA's Next Frontier is Netflix

Soon Netflix viewers will be able to watch a NASA channel

NASA has sent astronaturs to the moon, flown through hurricanes, fetched asteroid debris, and launched a program to clean up space trash. Its next mission? Streaming on Netflix.

On June 30, NASA announced that live programming from its in-home streaming service, NASA+, will be available on Netflix via a new partnership starting this summer. The move marks the most recent play in a years-long effort on NASA’s part to build out its media presence by switching from traditional cable to streaming. 

For Netflix, the news comes as the world’s largest video streaming service has continued to solidify its global dominance: In April, Netflix reported first quarter earnings of $2.9 billion, a 24 percent year-over-year increase.
