NASA Mars Retro Poster

This Mars retro posters  is part of the Visions of the Future Posters by the Jet Propulsion lab.

Background on the poster: 

This was the very last poster we produced for the series. We wanted to imagine a future time where humans are on Mars, and their history would revere the robotic pioneers that came first. 

There are a few fun things to point out here. You can see the silhouette of Olympus Mons in the background, there's a hint of underground water, and the rover's wheel is spelling out JPL on the ground in Morse code, just like the Curiosity rover does (for what the rover drivers call "visual odometry.")

A statement in any room. These matte, museum-quality posters are printed on durable, archival paper.
