Jet Propulsion Laboratories Visions of the Future

I grew up in the age of the Space Shuttle and remember watching the first launch in amazement. So like any kid of that time I dreamed of being an astronaut, of traveling into space or even to other planets.

Well, despite my longing that never happened. Instead I went on to become an artist and designer (with absolutely no regrets). However, I still periodically look up at the night sky through my telescope and wonder what that experience would be like. What it would feel like to pass beyond our terrestrial planet to space beyond.

A few months ago I ran across something that merged both my love of art and space. The brilliant minds at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratories commissioned a series of unique travel posters for all you dreamers out there. The posters feature destinations that humanity has yet to explore and don’t look like anything that is typically representative of a government agency. They are beautifully illustrated and vibrant in thier context but best of all, they are free to anyone who wishes to feel inspired.

Dan Goods, the Creative Director and Visual Strategist for the posters  told CNN, “It was really important to us that we worked with the technical community to make sure what we were showing could someday happen.”

So if you’re like me and want to believe that anything is possible, download the posters that inspire you to open your mind or simply brighten your space. All the posters are free for download and printing from NASA’s Propulsion Laboratories website.
