Netflix’s latest approach to expansion seems to be less focused on increasing the production of original content and more focused on partnering and collaborating with third parties to bring their content to the streaming service. This has recently led to WWE programming joining Netflix, as well as live sports, and will soon be further expanded to include cosmic content on behalf of NASA.
Yes, the space agency is working with Netflix with the intention of bringing NASA+ to the streaming platform as part of its portfolio. This inclusion will take place this summer and the following will be made available to subscribers.
“The public now has another option to stream rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage and breathtaking live images of Earth from the International Space Station.”
It must be said that NASA+ is currently accessible for free, without ads, through the NASA app and website, so this is not quite the same huge problem as bringing WWE to Netflix. However, if you are looking for ways to stare at the stars and learn something in the process, this will undoubtedly be of interest when it arrives in the coming weeks.
