“‘Houston, We Have a Webby,” may have been the iconic five-word speech when NASA won in 2019, but the agency’s Internet story took flight long before. First recognized by the Webbys in 1999 as a People’s Voice Winner for NASA Space Science Laboratory, NASA showed how science could live online with clarity and awe. Astronomy Picture of the Day made the cosmos a daily scroll, and an open media policy let teachers, journalists, and creators remix space without friction. In 2013, the Curiosity Mars Rover earned Webby recognition for social media, proving a robot could tweet like a human and become one of the Internet’s most compelling characters. NASA+ followed, a free, Webby recognized app that feels part mission control, part museum, part youth science hub. Exoplanet Travel Bureau posters turned research into art, while the James Webb Telescope’s first images spread like a global holiday. NASA turned the Internet into a shared frontier for science and imagination.
