Little known fact... this images are actually backed by Flickr.com and in there you get to download the original size vs "large" which seems to only be available on the nasa.gov site

Just search in flickr for the image id and you will get the relevant image in Flickr. e.g. https://flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/55208327975

It would be nice if the app would allow us to save templates (no need to get fancy just via URL params e.g. for the above it would be something like:`?sections=title&Desc,installation,runLocally,Support,Authors,Ack,usageExamples`

That way we could just generate a 'template' that we can share/save etc

It's surprising how Google have shot themselves in the foot with their short term thinking. Nobody trust them for anything that involves long term support on any new services/products(and several already existing products).
