Space Flight Awareness program is a project, curated by NASA, meant for NASA employees. An inside job, so to say. Its purpose is to motivate their people working on space missions and to make them feel important. And we do understand that, as you can start feeling pretty insignificant and alone when orbiting the Earth in solitude.

One of the SFA's motivational and just plain fun activities is making super cool posters for every NASA mission. These funny posters were mainly used to boost the crew's morale and were also hung in NASA facilities and other government organizations. However, when astronauts got bored with the standard group photos, they decided to spice things up a bit. And what's a better way to do that other than throwing in some pop culture references or mocking famous movie posters? And no, space exploration experts are not your boring stuck-up scientists!

Fair warning the results are quite cringy, making it hard to believe that these images are actually for real. Scroll below to see the hilarious NASA posters and upvote your favorites!

Johnny Depp refused to do another movie, so they got someone else.

I thought that said Gary Coleman and did a double take thinking I somehow missed him in the image.

At first, I thought she was wearing a hood on her head. Cool optical illusion.

It’s just lovely that NASA has a bit of creative fun with each crew by making these movie posters for each expedition.
