Looking to bring awareness to the Space Flight Program, NASA creates promotional posters featuring astronauts making an expedition to the International Space Station (ISS) — posters that often parody major films. Unfortunately, not enough people see these magnificent creations from NASA.
NASA’s Space Flight Awareness group was created to fill a specific role in space travel:
To ensure that each and every employee involved in human space flight is aware of the importance of their role in promoting astronaut safety and mission success in the critical, challenging task of flying humans in the hostile environment of space by communicating and educating the Government/industry workforce about human space flight.
The astronauts in Expedition 30 were "Pilots over the Caribbean," Expedition 42 parodied Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the meaning of life is 42!), and so much more (seriously check the photos out). The most recent group to head to the ISS was the 45th Expedition — they decided to channel their inner Jedi…

Does NASA have a closet filled with pirate and jedi costumes now…? Why haven't they parodied Men in Black yet??
