Space travel is cool

Laurie King|February 13, 2016|

These NASA/JPL posters are just the coolest thing ever.  They make me want to make over my guest room into a space center. Or maybe my own bedroom. earth-small

Ah, the romance of space travel. I’ll bet the artists read Have Space Suit, Will Travel when they were kids.

They’re free for the printing and using, here.

(And thanks, Boing Boing!)

    You’ve read Heinlein! Of course!

    (Just finished Dreaming Spies… the best one in quite a while, IMO! Thank you for your wonderful writing.)

    Those ARE nice! Have you seen the “travel” Teeshirts based on Star Wars? They’re also in a retro style and pretty cool.

    I read Stranger in a Strange Land when I was in Junior High and it changed my life. I knew that the librarian couldn’t have read it before putting it on the shelf in the library, because, well, she was also my Mom!

    Oh wow, now you’re bringing back some memories! Teenage me was a Heinlein nut, then I grew into Le Guin. Heady times …

      I never was part of the Heinlein craze, though I too read *Stranger*, but like you, grew into LeGuin. Heady stuff indeed.

    Did you ever read Kim Stanley Robinson’s “2312”? A future detective story in the best traditions of Russell and Holmes!
