Is anyone else bothered by NASA having its own channel on basic cable? I could understand it if there were educational programs being shown most of the time or maybe displaying a live web cam of the Space Station or looking through the eyes of the Hubble telescope, but that’s not what it shows. Undoubtedly you probably just flick past it on your way to TBS or some other channel, not even seeing it.
Well, a friend of mine sent me a link to “this article”:http://mashable.com/2007/12/02/nasa-social-network/ about NASA’s new collection of social networking tools called “MyNASA”:http://mynasa.nasa.gov/portal/site/mynasa and it begs the question, what is NASA selling? Government web sites are supposed to be badly programmed, ugly and uninformative and “NASA.gov”:http://www.nasa.gov/ is so totally not. It’s slick, informative and dare I say fun. All the information you could want is right there in an easy-to-use format with interactive features, news feeds and a pretty decent “kids’ club”:http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forkids/kidsclub/flash/index.html . Seriously, this site will make you fall in love with space all over again. “NASA”:http://www.nasa.gov/
