Beautiful posters. I’m baffled as to why anyone would want to spend time on planets that don’t naturally support life for humans. What is the appeal of nothingness.

They look like propaganda posters from after WWII.

That is the design intent. They are modeled after WPA posters from the 1930s-40s.
