Explore 14 alien worlds (and Earth) with NASA’s whimsical travel postersIt’s never too early to plan your trip to space, at least according to the folks at NASA.

In the meantime, we can imagine our extraterrestrial dream vacation thanks to a team of designers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. With a set of 15 downloadable travel posters, we can follow in the footsteps of NASA’s Voyager mission and experience the thrill of a “gravity assist,” explore alien oceans on Earthlike moons or travel far beyond the reaches of our solar system to intriguing and mysterious exoplanets.
