A New Era: Conquering The Crossroads of Technology
“Flying cars. Transparent gadgets. 3D-printed replacement organs. Virtual reality. Nanobots.
On the surface, it seems like we’re finally entering the futuristic world that our parents say they were promised at the World’s Fair. Upon LIGO’s discovery of Einstein’s century-old proposal of the existence of gravitational waves, many are calling this a “new era” ofscience, astronomy, andspace exploration.
Every day, we’re bombarded with a LOT of news, including news about the latest and greatest in science and technology. Whether it’s a reusable rocket or the World’s Smallest 4K Camera, cancer-killing nanobots or Solar Roadways, the hyperloop or real hoverboards, it seems like we’re on the verge of achieving utopia.
So…
Where is all of this great stuff and why aren’t we there yet?” More at thedailycosmos.com.
I officially bow down to the artists working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Also, thanks to NASA for recognizing and celebrating the power of art like this.
These STUNNING posters can all be downloaded directly from JPL (in hi-res). And their mere existence is reason enough for a new Wednesday theme: World Tour Wednesday.
Stay tuned for some more awesome posters that are out of this world* and worth touring

The Apollo Soyuz Test project was the first docking of an American spacecraft to a Soviet one. With the historic docking occurring in July of 1975, the mission was the last flight of the Apollo Command and Service module, and the only flight of Mercury 7 astronaut Deke Slayton, who had been grounded from the Mercury and Gemini programs as a result of a heart murmur. American spacecraft would later dock with Russian spacecraft once more when Commander Hoot Gibson docked Space Shuttle Atlantis to the Russian Mir space station in the mid 1990s as the beginning of the Shuttle-Mir program. The Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and NASA would later work together once more not too long afterwards to build the International Space Station, a merger project which originally was two separate space stations called Mir-2 and Freedom as well as the planned European and Japanese modules onboard Freedom, and Canadian hardware such as the Canadarm (no seriously, that's legitimately what it's called).
