Space Tourism Posters
These space tourism posters are part of the “JPL’s Exoplanet Travel Bureau presents: Visions of the Future” collection. Out of the 19 posters, these are just my favorites.
“At NASA/JPL we strive to be bold in advancing the edge of possibility so that someday, with the help of new generations of innovators and explorers, these visions of the future can become a reality. As you look through these images of imaginative travel destinations, remember that you can be an architect of the future.” – NASA/JPL.
Usage: “The images are free for you to print. Please consult the JPL Image Use Policy for further details.” – Source’s FAQ.
