Travelling to another world may not seem so far-fetched an idea thanks to the Intergalactic Travel Bureau posters. Although inspired by retro artwork from the 1950s, the images promote adventurous getaways including skiing at Pluto, exploring the red canyons of Mars and climbing the rocks of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
The Intergalactic Travel Bureau posters were designed by Steven Thomas and are part of the giveaways for supporting the bureau's crowdfunded tour, which was initiated on Kickstarter. Surpassing its $15,000 goal, the Intergalactic Travel Bureau will host pop-ups across America and Britain to help people plan their fantasy trip into space. As written on its Kickstarter page, "Our vision is to revolutionize how audiences experience science through live events that connect people with science in new ways."
