Are you serious!?!?! NASA is the only government agency that puts out FREE deep space photos. No other country does this to the capacity of which NASA has. All of those amazing space pictures of far off galaxies were given to the entire world free of charge curtesy of NASA and the American tax payer. There is already a bunch of videos and pictures taken from the surface of Mars floating around on the internet... who do you think took those pictures???

They didn't actually reach space, they just floated a balloon very high into the atmosphere, you dumb ape.

Man, that is so awesome. I am more intrigued about your camera not shorting out or going glitchy on ya.

you're a simplistic idiot.

People can launch things into space for a few bucks, but NASA takes tens of millions of dollars to do the same thing and they never share their photos and videos. Time to close NASA and open the PASA=Peoples Aeronautics and Space Administration.
