NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab just released
a new artwork series [nasa.gov] imagining a future where exotic locations in outer space have become travel destinations. "
The breathtaking illustrations commemorate the auroras of Jupiter [thenewstack.io], the mysterious waters of Titan, and the double suns of the newly-discovered planet Kepler-16b, 'Where your shadow always has company'," writes one technology site, noting that that NASA is encouraging visitors to print out the 14 illustrations as free posters, and to keep dreaming about the world we want to live in. (And NASA is
even selling postcards [thejplstore.com], making it possible to send greetings from outer space.) "It's hard not to see these posters as a NASA attempt to build strong popular support for all the new space programs yet to come. Or as NASA writes on their web page, "Imagination is our window into the future."
