We know it's ad-free and zero cost, but will it be DRM-free as well?
I'm not sure if US government IP is legally allowed to be DRM'd.
Yeah, it’s paid for by taxpayers, so it’s all fair use.
This would only be true in the US. What about the rest of the world?
In this case, free in the rest of the world as well.
They could geo-lock it if they wanted, but that's not the road NASA likes to take in general.
Good question. I think as long as you can already access the NASA app, NASA TV (it’s on YouTube, too), and NASA’s websites, then this should be no different. IIRC one press release said they wanted to share their content “with the world”, so it sounds like that’s a yes, but again I’m not 100% sure. Hopefully we find out in a few days :)
