NASA is crushing it on Twitch – streams SpaceX rocket launch

In a surprising turn of events, NASA is becoming a content machine on Twitch in the past few weeks.

They began making waves on the platform when they live-streamed crashing a satellite into an asteroid.

This, of course, was testing their capabilities and totally not because that asteroid would have destroyed the entire planet – naturally.

Although the satellite was only about the size of a refrigerator, you only need to alter its course a bit for it to miss a planet by hundreds of miles. NASA spent billions to put a little English on the ball.

NASA on Twitch

NASA’s Twitch stream continues to provide content after the first-ever asteroid redirect.

Recently, NASA streamed the SpaceX Crew 5 Launch to the International Space Station on Twitch – another milestone for NASA’s content partnership with the platform.

It’s fun to visit livestreamfails and see a NASA rocket launch nestled between hot tub streamers and C-list celebrity drama. I’m not complaining, though.

• Up next: Advanced Warfare 2 reportedly to follow Modern Warfare 2

Hopefully, NASA keeps these streams coming. Although the asteroid crash was running at .5 FPS, it was an exciting moment.

Keep it coming, NASA. Farm those Twitch Primes for the modern-day space race.
