NASA Launches Beta Site; On-Demand Streaming, App Update Coming Soon
- ggm 3y agoFor a site like HN the questions would be if this is just a rebadge of somebody else's video streaming on a CDN or if NASA has self bootstrapped with something novel. It's large enough to have a lot of capacity, DC and transit and it's got smart people who do network, video content encoding and scaling for a living. I tend to the former. Despite all the pro reasons above it would be poor use of public funds for core science when it's really targeting science communication and outreach. It's got great content and needs to get it out. It's probably done an RFP and a video specialist is doing this under contract. I look forward to using it.
