Somehow it seems so timed (Score 1)

Is it just me or does it seem like we are being fed information when NASA deems fit. I am not a conspiracy theorist in any means, although it does seem odd that regularily we are given information that perhaps I just have a feeling was found out a while back. Until Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking many people were kept well out of the loop as to what we knew about Science and Space and now it seems more and more likely that someone is censoring just how much we can know about what is found. I'm not talking about alien lifeforms and habitable planets, but more along the lines of just basic space theories and proofs. Why do we have to wait so long for so little information. I just doesn't make any sense to me...
