Open House at JPL

[spacechump]

Did anyone else get to this? This was my first time in the Pasadena area let alone at JPL. Overall I enjoyed myself very much, though I did get a bit tired of the layman's explanations (engineer and space nut here). It's good to see them explain to average citizens where and how their tax dollars are spent and what great results can follow.<br /><br />Plus I got to see the sand pit where they tested Oppy's conditions in the sand dune plus an engineering model that they had roving around, and a full scale Galileo mockup which, I admit, impressed me!<br /><br />Too bad I ran out of time because I didn't get to see the flight operations building.
