Willie Nelson and Frank Sinatra both love NASA and would like to tell you that supporting our space program helps develop technology that can benefit society at large, like medical imaging.

I can scarcely believe that this is a thing, that happened.

Wired has a collection of these 80’s gems, featuring everyone from Ray Charles to Charlton Heston. Or you can watch them all (plus some newer ones) on the NASA Spinoff YouTube channel. So how about that NASA science, WIllie?

“It’s led to a lot of things that have helped all of us, city dudes and country cousins alike.”

Right on, man. Right on.

    Sometimes I don’t hate Willie Nelson. These times are when he’s the subject of Toby Keith songs and this video.
