NASA just announced that any published research funded by the space agency
will now be available at no cost, launching a new public web portal that anybody
can access

Welcome to the space age, ladies and gentlemen
This is really quite a big deal. A tremendous amount of modern research ends up being sold to journals which require unreasonable payments to access it and only pay the original authors a pittance. It’s nice to see an agency like NASA deliberately widebanding its findings.
Not sure if people fully realize just how big of a deal this is.
THIS is how science is advanced. Not through biased corporate research, business secrets, marketing, paywalls and patent wars. But through open, uncensored and unrestricted public access to knowledge.

^ There’s the direct link to all the studies.
NASA IS GOOD, NASA IS GREAT
@osunism
NASA is the hero we don’t deserve.
This deserves every reblog.
@geh-is-okeh
In the face of institutions being silenced, this is doubly huge.
I love seeing that, for once, there are more reblogs than likes
Keep passing on this info, guys. Good job](https://pics.awwmemes.com/nasa-just-mde-alll-the-sciemtiic-research-i-funds-available-67741096.png)
