NASA is elevating its digital platforms for the benefit of all by revamping its flagship and science websites, adding its first on-demand streaming service, and upgrading the NASA app. With these changes, everyone will have access to a new world of content from the space agency.
If it’s called NASA Plus, how is it free? The “plus” means it goes a step beyond their free content and into a paid tier.
Don’t get me wrong this is absolutely fantastic I adore NASA and space, but they’re just be some hidden cost? Otherwise it wouldn’t be a streaming service called NASA Plus, right?
I don’t think everyone sat down and agreed to that being what plus means. It’s like labeling food as organic, it means nothing. It’s just a name. Odd thing to obsess over, you’ll get nowhere trying to understand marketing people, just let it go.
What they are adding is a more condensed experience accessing NASA content and making it easier for casual viewers to access. The more people paying attention to science the better. I think this is a fantastic move from NASA
You realize I can slap the word organic on anything, and it isn’t using the certified organic label… right? Want some “organic ATX motherboards?” I gotchu.
However, perusing the USDA website one comes across this set of “strongly” worded guidelines:
“Can a product be labeled “organic” without being certified?
If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified.”
“If you are not certified, you must not make any organic claim on the principal display panel or use the USDA organic seal anywhere on the package. (see exemption below)”
“You may only, on the information panel, identify the certified organic ingredients as organic and the percentage of organic ingredients.”
Apparently, if a company does mislabel its products, it is liable to be prosecuted by the Federal trade commission.
sure. However “plus” means that something is additional to something else. And the question here is what is the basic product that makes this one be the additional
The Plus is that all the space stuff and exploration is a plus because in reality it is funded by the military industrial complex to help them make efficient weapons as their primary focus
Mauve for this you’ll need to have an account? This would already help nasa market products towards you and this is a good value they can get without you paying anything.

Notepad++ enters the chat
It’s actually Notepad+, plus it’s free
No, it is Notepad++ and it is called like that because it is written in C++.
Are you sure C++ isn’t just C+, plus it’s free?
They say it’s free but that’s how they get ya. It’ll only cost your soul!
Maybe the real cost was the friends we lost along the way.
Woosh :p

Why do you think the organic label for food means nothing?

If you’re not afraid of the legal system why not slap a Disney logo on there too?
Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not “usda certified organic”
Most
I like how confident you are about your answer.
However, perusing the USDA website one comes across this set of “strongly” worded guidelines:

That word probably exists in the same article you originally linked.
But many actually don’t do it which is why they don’t use the USDA certified
Compared to the standards for organic in civilized countries, that’s basically nothing.
Looks like they refer to adding their Science wing into the streaming, too.
In this crazy capitalist world peiple started forgetting that public services can be free, like, for real :D
plus just means more I think, they’re adding to their service so it’s “plus”
just because that’s usually a hook to get you to pay more doesn’t mean that’s now the definition of the word
sure. However “plus” means that something is additional to something else. And the question here is what is the basic product that makes this one be the additional
You’re really trying to make this more complicated than it is. Should they just call it NASA? NASA Streaming? NASA VOD?
It’s just a catchy name.
ok, so the word “plus” is used to indicate that it is a streaming service. Got it
Sure, why not. That’s all it means in the context of Disney+.
From their generic FAQ:
from my limited perspective, the word “plus” is to indicate the rest studios/companies that are included in the Disney (parent) company
That’s actually what it has kinda came to mean. Lots of Streaming services are called “Plus”, even if they don’t have a separate non-free version.
They’re selling our usage data to aliens to pay for server costs
What do you expect? “We’re not hosting an intergalactic kegger down here!”
The Plus is that all the space stuff and exploration is a plus because in reality it is funded by the military industrial complex to help them make efficient weapons as their primary focus
