iirc this was originally sourced from https://nasa-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/253565/NASA-NTV1-Public/master.m3u8 which was found by examining the source code of https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/. It's returning a 403 error now.

You need to pass following cookie header to VLC to make it work: 'Referer: https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/' . User agent is currently not relevant.
