Nasa has released a set of beautiful retro posters to promote space adventure

Following in British astronaut Tim Peake's footsteps may now appear more possible than ever.

Riding on the latest wave of enthusiasm for space travel, Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) commissioned design firm Invisible Creature to produce the Visions of the Future 2016 Calendar.


Each vintage-style poster lures you into dreaming of your own space holiday - a reality that may not be all that far off...

The brothers have previously worked with the likes of Nike, Lego and Warner Brothers Records.

Designing for NASA appears to run in the family as their grandfather was also an illustrator for the space agency in the 1960s.

The bold, retro designs appear to resemble posters released by the US Department of the Interior in the 1930s. However, rather than advertising a stroll in a national park, these designs act as a keen indication to the space agency's missions in the future.

Given that nobody on Earth knows exactly what each planet looks like, the designs ought to be enough excite the imagination of even the most dreary of fellows.

Failing that, there’s always home sweet home...
