Spread the word! Mission on Mars.

Are you interested in space? I am. And I've been watching several different podcast about space but my two favorites are Hubblecast and UA Phoenix Mars Mission. One little question pops up in my head. Why does these podcasts exist? Well, they are produced/supported by NASA (NASA have their own very exciting WEBTV) and ESA and my guess is that this is a great way to spread the knowledge and to grow interest about space and in particular the NASA and ESA projects. As most projects are founded by different governments (and we are talking about a lot of money) it surely helps if the society is updated and finds it interesting an the podcasts are a very efficient and cheap way to spread the discoveries. Just look at me. I’m writing about it now.
