- brettermeier 5y agoThat are some beautfiful posters, but the download links for the high resolution versions lead to a 404 error page, like this one: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/visions-of-the-future/tif/enceladus.tif https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/visions-of-the-future/tif/enceladus...

- blooalien 5y agoLooks like the high resolution original tiff files can still be snagged at archive.org WayBack Machine… → https://web.archive.org/web/20190213183244/https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/visions-of-the-future/ https://web.archive.org/web/20190213183244/https://www.jpl.n...
- hulitu 5y agoThey look like propaganda posters from after WWII.
- jaquers 5y agoIf by "look like", you mean they have bright-colored illustrations and text on them - that comparison would make sense.
- quesera 5y agoThat is the design intent. They are modeled after WPA posters from the 1930s-40s. "Propaganda" has negative connotations today, because it has been used as a manipulative tool. But that was not always the case. WPA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration
- Black101 5y agoFake news is the new propaganda...
- culopatin 5y agoWhere can I get these printed on something nice enough to hang on a wall?
- chrissinclair 5y agoLooks like Displate have them if that's your thing? https://displate.com/nasa/jpl-space-travel-posters https://displate.com/nasa/jpl-space-travel-posters
- fuzzylightbulb 5y agoNot sure where you are, but my local CVS or Walgreens can print photos and have done a decent job printing posters for me in the past.
- culopatin 5y agoThanks I’ll give it a try
- rozap 5y agoWe got these posters printed by a local printer about 5 years ago and then framed them. They're huge, they look great and have not faded at all. Just go to a local print shop and they'll do it. It was under 100 for 3.

- Symmetry 5y agoSome friends and I had a run of those printed up as stickers for laptops, etc.
- ekingr 5y agoThe CNES (French national center for space studies) had done similar 'vintage' ones a while ago https://reves-d-espace.com/affiches-spatiales-pour-decorer-vos-murs/ https://reves-d-espace.com/affiches-spatiales-pour-decorer-v...

- anonAndOn 5y agoLooks like they've provided a link to a shared folder. C'est super! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16Hcdw4lER8t63YgDGm9Wmgb5rjFCufx8 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16Hcdw4lER8t63YgDGm9W...
- FL33TW00D 5y agoAll of these make up part of NASAs exoplanet travel bureau. Their high quality tiff files are available here: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/alien-worlds/exoplanet-travel-bureau/ https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/alien-worlds/exoplanet-travel-bu... I got the Kepler 16b poster printed and framed, it looks amazing!
- circleit 5y agoBeautiful posters. I’m baffled as to why anyone would want to spend time on planets that don’t naturally support life for humans. What is the appeal of nothingness. Just go put on a special suit and hang out in a desert on earth. At least there you might even see bugs or snakes, etc. but another planet with nothing but rocks (minerals, whatever)…how is this appealing. The biodiversity on earth is incredible and is being destroyed at an insane pace. All this space talk and people wanting to yet out of here really makes me think humans are unable to 1) appreciate what they have and 2) are extremely selfish to the point where, when whittled down in this scenario, prefer nothing to a lot of things. Besides exploring space, which I think is somewhat different, can someone tell me what the appeal of living in nothingness is…
- otabdeveloper4 5y agoThe media from an early age conditioned people to expect something more there than just rocks and darkness.
- Robotbeat 5y agoSpace, at least anywhere nearby, is brighter than on Earth.
- crazydoggers 5y agoThese posters capture the imagination that goes with pulp science fiction of the 40s and 50s. It’s nostalgic and whimsical, not meant to actually portray visiting barren planets. When pulp sci fi was being written, no one really knew what might be in our own solar system. Some assumed Venus could be a jungle teaming with life, Mars full of caverns with civilization. Obviously now we know that’s not the case. So the idea that there’s some appeal for people to walk around nothingness in a space suite is off the mark. The reason we want to send people to Mars is not to enjoy the barrens of Mars, but to further our capabilities. (Although there is an undeniable beauty ti geology as well, the beauty of the Grand Canyon for instance) The barrens are a stepping stone. If there are planets with alien snakes and bugs, whole ecosystems with intelligent beings, the only way to get there is baby steps in our own barren solar system. So that’s the appeal. The challenge of exploration to see what’s over that next hill. Edit: Your points of not appreciating what’s on Earth are right on point. You’ll note one of the posters is an Earth poster. In many ways demonstrating how barren and inhospitable most of the universe is, helps people realize what they have here and how precious it is. So in other words, your exact point of view is what many hope everyone can understand.

- economusty 5y agoI had the earth poster printed large at my local FedEx store.
- gratalis 5y agoGetting a strong vibe of Chesley Bonestell's influence in these beautiful works of art. "Chesley Bonestell: A Brush With The Future" is a wonderful documentary that examines Chesley's life and impact on the visualization of the space travel genre https://www.chesleybonestell.com/the-film.html https://www.chesleybonestell.com/the-film.html
