ISS Expedition 45 Raises the Astronaut Portrait Bar With Their Jedi Mind Powers

NASA’s Expedition 45 poster of astronauts who will spend a long time in a space station far, far away is pretty much perfect.

It’ll be hard for anyone to top Expedition 42’s Hitchhiker’s Guide poster or astronaut Leland Melvin’s amazing official portrait, but this one gives us a new hope that such a thing is possible. The poster also includes the ISS’s first year-long crew with Mikhail Kornienko (yellow lightsaber) and Scott Kelly (wielding Mace-Windu-purple like a boss). They’ll test out what effects a long-term stay in space has on the human body.
