One week ago today, I went back to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Pasadena, California, to attend its annual open house...which was renamed Explore JPL a few years ago. There was nothing new to see at the lab since I last visited the NASA field center on May 30, but it's all good. It never gets old visiting the historic Space Flight Operations Facility, as well as checking out flight hardware for the Mars 2020 rover inside the Spacecraft Assembly Facility. And even though it was extremely crowded (like it's been for the past six years or so), it's always a thrill to see the amount of people in the general public who take an interest in space exploration. Happy Father's Day weekend!
