They apparently got tired of the fake moon landing bullshit.

Unacceptable. Post a direct link to the pictures on NASA's website.

You would have to ask NASA.

Probably, but it's way easier to do it now on the web than pay someone to arrange and publish a giant book of 10,000 pictures.

Just a guess on this:
If NASA chose to host the photos on their servers - NASA with feeble budget these days ends up paying for bandwidth on down loads.

Flickr ends up being a no cost source of storage for NASA

Much like how Minichan uses Imgur as a way to off load BW they need not consider in its meager budget.
