Nasa has released a series of free space travel posters offering a vision of the ultimate holiday destinations around the universe.

The Visions of the Future posters, from the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, promote travel to planets and moons with taglines such as: "Venus – See You At The Cloud 9 Conservatory", and: "Kepler186f – Where The Grass Is Always Redder On The Other Side".

The 14 illustrations are "equal parts retro-chic and sheer design genius", says Travel + Leisure magazine, with each downloadable poster as "visually striking as the next".

Brothers Don and Ryan Clark, who created three of the designs, said they were "very honoured and lucky to have worked on such an amazing project".

Explaining the posters, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory said: "We strive to be bold in advancing the edge of possibility so that someday, with the help of new generations of innovators and explorers, these visions of the future can become a reality."

Included in the series is Earth, Venus, Mars and Jupiter; the three moons of Saturn: Titan, Enceladus and Europa; and five planets outside our solar system, including HD 40307g.
