Are you not familiar with NASA TV? It’s pretty interesting at times with science updates on their exploration programs like the Mars rovers and JWST. They also broadcast EVA’s and have interviews with people working in Mission Control and elsewhere. I like it a lot.
I am familliar i love it damn cool shit and impressive engineering. Its important that while enjoying it that u dont forget its a tool to promote american propoganda and scientific exeptionalism
Space is the only place where Russia and America are friends. Nasa only cares about politics as far as they need to to keep their funding. And even then they generally opt for less politics even when it means less funding.
The only "politics" NASA plays is to advertise to the public how great the things they're doing are because the more public support, the more funding they get.
And nobody should be against that. Everything NASA does is toward scientific progress. The amazing things they've done on their miniscule budget should be lauded and they should be given a much higher proportion of the US budget than they are currently afforded.
