Re: Jet Propulsion Labs OPEN HOUSE MAY 3rd & 4th
To answer the last three posts:
Yes! It was 12 years ago that Sojourner landed on mars.
It is an annual event.

Also SETI, first digital sat phone, first digital sat music broadcasts and some other stuff
Lets see, your either the second guy in the front on the right or the guy right behind him. I'm leaning on the guy behind the second guy. Which one are you...

Re: Jet Propulsion Labs OPEN HOUSE MAY 3rd & 4th
Had a blast today. The event was very popular and the lines were long, but we saw some very cool stuff.
It was hot!

Re: Jet Propulsion Labs OPEN HOUSE MAY 3rd & 4th
If anyone goes to this tomorrow, go to the Mars Science Lab (big a$$ rover) and see if Ashwin Vasavada is there. He knows all about the FJ Cruiser underworld - mention you saw this on fjcruiserforums as well
He's the Deputy Project Scientist for the whole project and the guy that got me into wheeling

Told one of my co workers about this and he went with his two young sons. Had a great time. Thanks for posting this up.

No.... IIRC, it was designed to last 7 days but did last about 90.
I am in awe of the new rovers. They have been running on Mars an incredibly long time!!!
