NASA took the decision to publish an
impressive collection of pictures on the Internet in order to
allow the free download of every user who is interested in
seeing moon missions or other space photos. The entire process
will be enhanced by Internet Archive which will cover all the
costs of the operation as numerous pictures provided by
NASA are not yet available as digital
content.

At this time, a huge collection of pictures provided by
NASA are published on more than 3,000
websites but the organization aims to make Internet Archive the
only place where people can find the entire collection of pics.
Wired News reported that Internet Archive will have to pay
several million dollars to complete this plan because
NASA offers a huge amount of content.
“The big payoff on this will be getting the terrific materials that are basically in the space centers up and available on the Internet. They are still images, different forms of film and video tapes over the years. The idea is to get it all online. It’s sometimes a little difficult to find things you might want to use for a school report or a news program,” Internet Archive founder said according to the same source.
