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&#8217;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.<br \/>\nWell, a friend of mine sent me a link to &#8220;this article&#8221;:<a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2007\/12\/02\/nasa-social-network\/\">http:\/\/mashable.com\/2007\/12\/02\/nasa-social-network\/<\/a> about NASA&#8217;s new collection of social networking tools called &#8220;MyNASA&#8221;:<a href=\"http:\/\/mynasa.nasa.gov\/portal\/site\/mynasa\">http:\/\/mynasa.nasa.gov\/portal\/site\/mynasa<\/a> and it begs the question, what is NASA selling?  Government web sites are supposed to be badly programmed, ugly and uninformative and &#8220;NASA.gov&#8221;:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/\">http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/<\/a> is so totally not.  It&#8217;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 &#8220;kids&#8217; club&#8221;:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/audience\/forkids\/kidsclub\/flash\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/audience\/forkids\/kidsclub\/flash\/index.html<\/a> .  Seriously, this site will make you fall in love with space all over again.  &#8220;NASA&#8221;:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/\">http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/<\/a><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/alex\/NASAdotGOV.png!\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA has marketing money, but do they know what to do with it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[249,364],"class_list":["post-326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-original-duenos","tag-nasa","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jeffginger.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
