[SGVLUG] JPL Open House this weekend + Meetup

[Lan Dang]

Hi all,

The JPL Open House will be this Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 4pm.  It's a pretty popular event, so if you want to attend, I recommend coming early or you won't be able to see all the exhibits.  The lines will be long.  


They estimate that traffic will start backing up around 8am so it's best to come before then.

I've scheduled a meetup for Sunday morning because that's when I'm going.

There is a mobile web app this year that you can use on your smartphone or tablet.  (You will have to use your cellular network; no wifi will be available.)

The PDF of the printed program/map is also available.  It contains additional information, as well as marking the exhibits that include activities for children.http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/events/pdf/2015_oh_visitor_guide.pdf


I would recommend hitting the Spacecraft Assembly Facility (#14 & #15), the Space Flight Operations (#5) and the Earth Science Center (#12).  The von Karman Visitor Center (#7) is nice too.  They are cool to go to, but will likely have long lines because the rooms aren't that large.

Other exhibits may be crowded but not have formal lines.  The movie lines are reportedly shorter.
