The Jet Propulsion Laboratory will have on open house today and tomorrow! This sounds like a lot of fun, actually. More about it on their website, from which I snatched:
This popular event will celebrate JPL’s accomplishments with exhibits and demonstrations about the Laboratory’s ongoing research and space exploration. Many of the Lab’s scientists and engineers will be on hand to answer questions about how spacecraft are sent to other planets, how scientists utilize space technologies to explore Earth and how researchers are now searching for planets beyond the solar system. Visitors will see exhibits, displays, demonstrations and presentations about new technologies, solar system exploration, spacecraft communication and much more.
The Open House is a fun and educational experience for children too, with special hands-on activities designed for kids. Food and beverages will be available, along with space souvenirs and NASA and JPL merchandise.
I think I’m going to go along and have a look! Maybe I’ll see you there…

Well, I’m just jealous. I certainly would go to their Open House if I lived there. I have this notion that ‘all good things come from JPL’ (and I’ll take a Saturn sticker on my hand any day).
Actually, I’m envious of anyone who lives in southern California. Why does it have to be so darn expensive? You do a good job of promoting Los Angeles area events, incidentally. Have fun. 🙂
And here is one result of JPL’s (and others’) recent space missions activities…
