I would love to see NASA's PR people get their heads out of their arse and actually stream on Twitch, also won't mind CERN doing it. And yes while it might not get as many view's as the latest goat simulator bench play presented by an ex-porn star in a bikini it surely can expose tons of people to things that actually matter.

Twitch has had massive growing pains, it's taken them a very long time to get to a point where they are smooth under load.

For a long time the LCS broadcasts were always very stuttery on twitch, so much so that streams were also set up on Youtube and Azubu to help.

About 6months - 1yr ago twitch suddenly got a lot better in this regard but I certainly wouldn't expect NASA to do a better job than a site dedicated to streaming. (The 12yr old playing the game is a red herring, they're just streaming to twitch.)

Twitch previously were Justin.tv but switched to gaming as clearly it was a fast growing niche, otherwise their old platform would have been suitable for factual content like this.
