...which has nothing to do with NASA the US government organization, or the NSF (FYI). It's just some independent streamers who apparently know you can't get trademark claims against you by the federal government.

Spoken like someone who is generating their opinion from their channel name alone.

Those "independent streamers" provide live launch streams with multiple feeds using their own equipment and to top it off they have numerous very knowledgeable hosts for all their streams. At this point I suspect they are covering every US based launch from all the major players. Hell, today they broadcasted both the New Glenn and Starship launches less than 24h apart.

But yeah, let's get hung up on an organization name that originated as an Internet forum for discussing all things....... NASA!

They should rename themselves NSF, short for NSF Space Flight.

The National Science Foundation is also a division of the US government, and the National Sanitation Foundation (which goes by NSF) is also a well-known large and established private org.

NSF is taken, too.
