Here Is NASA’s Latest Batch of Space Travel Ads

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that almost every earthling’s version of outer-space is different. When I think of outer-space, my first thoughts are of former planet, Pluto. I imagine a purple-bluish jawbreaker floating in a star-spotted darkness, maybe a wormhole subtly doing its thing somewhere off in the distance. But that’s just my outer-space. The outer-space of say, Seattle graphic design agency Invisible Creature, is drastically more defined and sorta 10x f*cking cooler.

I know this because NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently had the design firm (whose founders’ grandfather was once a NASA illustrator) create three futuristic space travel posters—all of which kick ass. There are hints of 60’s science fiction novels, Woodstock-era vibes, ice volcanoes rightfully titled “Cold Faithful,” and more unpredictable inspiration embedded in each of these intergalactic works. Have a gander at each in their entirety below.


1. Enceladus (Saturn’s Icy Moon)

If you’re interested in learning more about them + possibly purchasing one or two or all three, you can do so here. Or maybe you don’t want to buy them. Maybe your version of outer-space is better. Maybe Pluto should still be recognized as a planet.
