A tangential thought while we're on the subject: NASA imagery can actually be used commercially and even sold for profit. The only caveats are that you can't use the likeness of any employee (e.g. astronauts) without their permission, you can't use anything with current employees in it, and the usage cannot implicitly or explicitly convey endorsement by NASA.[0] I've seen countless scummy stock photo sites selling NASA imagery for ridiculous prices (think $200 per image) when it's all completely free in the first place.
