Huh. There's no geolock on this either? Fantastic. As a Canadian I tend to get blocked from this kind of stuff. This will be super cool. Might even replace my LCARS screensaver after years of use

Ever since Canada created the elegantly named "Canadarm", NASA and Canada have been besties.

To say nothing of possibly the greatest Astronaut to fly to the Space Station: Chris Hadfield

The US federal science agencies are generally pretty happy with sharing things. If it's free to the US public, it's free to the world and I love that. Best possible use of my tax dollars.

(We also share weather and hurricane data with the Caribbean countries, for example. None of them could individually afford what the US is doing, so I'm happy we share.)

I'm still using a particularly excellently implemented Matrix screensaver from XP, hehe.

And what's that (less authentic looking but still great) one for Linux terminals? cmatrix I think?

Yeah it's cmatrix. You can get it pretty legit if you tweak the settings enough.

I remember that XP screensaver like it was yesterday though.
