Poster: Mars Explorers Wanted poster – NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory – Caltech

The NASA We Need You Visions of the Future series is a collection of space travel posters.  Each space travel poster imagines future explorers living and working in places across the solar system.

The Nasa poster mimics a job opportunities advert for potential employment opportunities on Mars. The NASA website puts out a call to potential applicants with the message ‘Mars needs YOU! In the future, Mars will need all kinds of explorers, farmers, surveyors, teachers . . . but most of all YOU! Join us on the Journey to Mars as we explore with robots and send humans there one day. Be an explorer!

The text for the advert reads “Explorers Wanted on the Journey to Mars” – “Hike the solar system’s largest canyon, Valles Marineris on Mars, where you can catch blue sunsets in the twilight, and see the two moons of Mars (Phobos and Deimos) in the night sky”.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears, or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a print and frame for a great price.
