Why did he have to pay (again) for that image?
Obviously they are public domain since (we the public) paid to have the original images taken.

From the NASA site:
"Many NASA images and most film and video footage are in the public domain can be used for advertising purposes."


As far as a high quality image of the entire earth, there is one very hi-res version (not vector though) on the NASA web site, but I'll be damned if I can find it now. It prints at 54x54 just fine.

Insomuch as I did not make the arrangements for his license or acquiring the photo, I was just passing along what he said. It was eight years ago and that may have been their policy for as high a rez version as it was. I would have expected it was public domain also but there may have been other considerations or different interpretations.
