NASA vs Amtrak vs the National Park Service

Space tourism is still a ways off, but NASA, everybody’s favorite government agency, released some pretty sweet posters for destinations you’ll (hopefully!) be able to visit someday. 

Turns out, they’re not the only agency with some pretty rad graphic design. Here’s one of Amtrak’s iconic rail lines. 

And this poster for Yellowstone National Park, from 1938. 

Although NASA claims there might be a few more geysers to see on Enceladus

Or maybe take a trip closer to home.

Or go visit the histroic Sequoia National Park. This poster is from the early 40′s. 

For the history buff, see some of NASA’s historic sites, on Mars!

But even NASA knows, there’s only one Earth, “Your Oasis in Space.” 

See the full NASA collection over at their website.

The Human Body Isn’t Ready For Mars

We’re very close to having the technology to send astronauts to the red planet, but that doesn’t mean the human body is physically ready for such an endeavor. Right now, it would take between 6 and 8 months to get to Mars and during the trip astronauts would be at risk for vision impairment, bone density loss, and even muscle atrophy.

So, what would it take? Find out here
