National Aeronautics and Space - Administration-Pasadena Office

I’ve had the pleasure to visit JPL a few times over the years. It’s amazing that such engineering feats and scientific discoveries have been made so close to home. As an outsider to engineering and tech, this campus goes out of its way to welcome guests and employees alike with captivating exhibits and thorough, easy to read signage and explanations. The employees are thoughtful and interesting characters to say the least…if you know one, try having them host you for a private tour. I need to come back for one of their regularly hosted outreach talks and other public events. As they say in the space community, Ad Astra!

If you are a space fan, and you want to get real high, this is the place to go! Do remember take more pictures than you should, so you can get more orgasm back home. This place don’t open that often, like a day of annual open house sth.

NASA is awesome and the history of this place is amazing. The public visitoocenter is easy to find and fun to enjoy.

Great experience. Must see if you can get general tour reservations.

This place is so cool! If you are ever able to attend their open house Explore JPL or get a private tour from an employee, DO NOT MISS THAT OPPORTUNITY!! There are so many cool things to see here, full scale rovers, testing grounds, assembly of real spacecraft, they have a museum with replicas of many different spacecraft dating back from the 1960's. There is so much history to JPL that I never knew about. Even if you aren't a giant space nerd, this place will still be cool. Something interesting for all ages!

If you are ever in the area, book a tour to this amazing place. The tour takes about 2.5 hours and there is about a mile of walking. You gain a true appreciation of the exploration that continues every minute of every day. The tour is informative and interactive. Lots of displays and life-size models of spacecraft.

Absolutely out of this world experience! Seeing the Space Flight Operations Facility in person is an absolute MUST for any space enthusiast. Seeing the Spacecraft Assembly Facility in full action with the next generation of orbiters is incredible.

There are no words to describe how incredible it is to be able to know a NASA building, especially JPL, where extremely competent people come together for the sake of science for the evolution of humanity. The building itself is from Caltech, but everything that is done in it is for NASA, so it can be said to be in fact in it. The guided tour is for hardcore nerds, lasts 3 hours and has a lot of explanation. I was fascinated and ended the tours wishing there was more, but my wife was tired at the end of the tour. So consider this, not for everyone, but even tired, my wife loved the visit. No wonder, it is a great privilege to know a little more about the place that sends probes and satellites into space, it is the central control of everything that man sent to space and is from the moon ahead, with people who are very serious about everything they do, being able to see it all up close is a tremendous privilege, especially for children, who can get in touch with such deep subjects while they are very young. The souvenir shop is also very cool, several authentic NASA swags to flaunt around the world. Plan your visit in advance and schedule on the site, do not miss the opportunity to meet the JPL! ---- Português BR Não existem palavras para descrever o quão incrível é poder conhecer um prédio da NASA, especialmente o que abriga a JPL, onde pessoas extremamente competentes se juntam em prol da ciência para a evolução da humanidade. O prédio em si é da Caltech, mas tudo que é feito nele é para NASA, então pode-se afirmar que se está de fato nela. O tour guiado é para nerds hardcore, dura 3 horas e tem muita explicação. Eu fiquei fascinado e achei pouco, minha esposa estava cansada no final do tour. Então leve isso em consideração, não é para todos os gostos, mas mesmo cansada, minha esposa adorou a visita. Também não é para menos, é um privilégio muito grande poder conhecer um pouco mais do lugar que manda sondas e satélites para o espaço, é o controle central de tudo aquilo que o homem mandou pro espaço e está da Lua à diante, com pessoas que tem uma seriedade muito grande em tudo aquilo que fazem, poder ver tudo isso de perto é um privilégio enorme, especialmente para as crianças, que podem entrar em contato com assuntos tão profundos enquanto ainda são bem jovens. A lojinha também é bem legal, vários swags autênticos da NASA para ostentar mundo afora. Planeje antecipadamente a sua visita e agende no site, não perca a oportunidade de conhecer a JPL!

I love the fried chicken here! The secret is in the sauce.

They are involved in the time displacement program and they have successfully created artificial black holes that allow them to travel between parallel universes and they say nothing. Leaving me here under complete surveillance by their “collaborators”. If you all can’t realise that any scientific discovery is part of humanity you have failed as “scientists”. Shame on you and your silence!!!!!!!
