It looks like NASA wants to attract as many future settlers to Mars as possible. 

The agency is doing a good job of that by releasing stunning "recruitment" posters that you can print out and hang on your wall for inspiration.

Posted recently on NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) website, the series of posters was originally commissioned in 2009. On Tuesday, the agency decided to turn them loose as part of its "Journey To Mars" campaign.

The posters, featuring an astronaut who acts as a space-age Uncle Sam, are styled after early 20th century propaganda -- not unlike the stunning travel posters NASA made available earlier this year. Like before, this set of posters is free to download and can be printed out in full-poster size (30 inches by 48 inches). 

Check out the posters below and be sure to download them at the JPL website
