"Movie posters" with the participation of NASA astronauts

For each space mission, starting with STS-96 in 1999, when the American shuttle docked for the first time with the ISS, the graphic department of the Kennedy Space Center created posters about each mission.

While some of the first posters created for SFA were “gray” and boring, they later evolved into artwork that portrayed teams of space expeditions in the style of Hollywood movie posters.

Here you can see for example such films as: Oceans 11, The Matrix, Star Wars, etc.
