JPL TWEETUP... Last Monday, I attended a special event at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Pasadena, California, that was held for around 110 lucky folks who were invited via Twitter to go to JPL. During the Tweetup, we listened to presentations held by NASA engineers and scientists who were working on past and present deep space projects such as Voyager, the Mars Exploration Rovers, Dawn, GRAIL and the Juno mission. At the end of the day, we got to go to the Spacecraft Assembly Facility to see the Curiosity Mars rover (which is undergoing final testing before being shipped out to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida around June 22 for launch preparations). All-in-all, it was a great experience. To see more photos from the JPL Tweetup, click on the red link below.
