NASA really fell through. How did they go from grand achievements like faking a moon landing to childish-pretend-play-we-have-space-tourism-now posters?

Comparing the result of years of work on the agency's top priority with a few posters someone did as a fun promotional item does not make any sense.

Not to mention he's a troll.

These are amazing. A huge part of the value of NASA itself is that it inherently represents pride in humanity--our accomplishments, and aspirations.

Here, NASA reminds us that there is still room for new aspirations in a culture that currently is hung-up on post-apocalyptic doom-and-gloom futures.

Looking forward to when the posters are available for purchase. I'm not seeing any in http://thejplstore.com/index.php?route=product/category&path...

There are PDFs and ridiculously large TIFFs available for you to download and print [1]. Click on one of the images to see the respective download link. Just bring the PDF to a professional print shop and pick a size. At least that's what I'm going to do :)

ridiculously large TIFFs

These are oddly not available for "51 Pegasi b" and beyond though. Only PDFs for those.

SpaceX had "throwback" posters in early 2015, and it feels like NASA designers were inspired by those to do the same.

NASA's first set of these came before SpaceX's (Jan 2015 vs May 2015):

These are a lot of fun!

The doom marine in me demands a poster for Phobos!

NASA / JPL put out some beautiful stuff. I used one of their space images from http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/ as the background for a small game I made a year or so ago.

Love work like this.

Somewhat related, I also love these vintage posters of planetary missions by the Chop Shop Store.

Probably cheaper to just implant a memory instead.

... except Europa. Attempt no landing there.

I see you No Man's Sky

andallas2• 10 years ago

Oh, and it's Venus, get it, No Man's Sky! Haha, good job JPL

This is bread and circuses for nerds...dopey mindless marketing drivel for public consumption.

It's very easy to fall in love with the ideas behind NASA and space exploration, but NASA itself is corrupt as all hell and is an arm of the military industrial complex and it always amazes me when they get a completely free pass here.

Got an entire empty wall to furnish with these.

oxplot3• 10 years ago

Anyone noticed the colors in the TIFFs are off? They're very saturated and slightly off hue (compared to the preview image and the PDFs).

oxplot3• 10 years ago

Contacted NASA and it's actually on purpose, so they look better printed.
