Apparently they used Windows Movie Maker to set the Aspect Ratio as well.

[The very best]

They haven't got enough money to pay the ridiculous amount to get a better program

[KristoferKSR]

And they don't need to.

Nasa is really bad at advertising, have you seen the NASA channel? lol

They throw shit at planets and get it to stick. It's sad they need any advertising beyond that.

[iusehax]

Who the fuck cares, they send shit into space

[cdlink14]

And yet they get the job done. So why make a fuss about it?

[Death_God]

yeah hope you realize powerpoint 2000 is a million times more reliable than future versions

[rrunyan]

That was cute.

[Digimutant]

And that was nice of them.

Also how can you be sure it's Powerpoint 2000? It can be either version.

[Francisco]

wow they used old stuff what a fucking deal

[Wiggles]

Surely this just goes to show that they're dumping money into the places that actually matter?

[kaze4159]

Actually looking at the video, that doesn't even look like Powerpoint :v:

[Jorori]

Not really an issue, a lot of shops I've been in use computers with MS-DOS to process the orders and they do its job perfectly.
Besides, there're more important things for them to spend their funds on, like sending stuff to space and all that.

If it isn't broken, Don't fix it.

Yea, let's not make improvements on anything until it is so worn out it falls to pieces.

[Lizzrd]

NASA is actually all about using old shit that works.

You don't send a robot to mars with a 120TB SSD that'll fail in two years and so forth.

Old presentation software doesn't "fall to pieces", genius. :downs:

Reminds me of [url=http://lay-uh.ytmnd.com/]this old YTMD[/url] from 2006.

The aspect ratio is because it was shown on that really skinny TV screen in Times Square:

They're scientists/engineers/mathematicians, there are no artists required at NASA

YTMND is that one place that always has a special place in my heart. It was one of the places that created a lot of meme's and shit like that. A lot of their stuff was gold, but now they're kinda dead.
