Once again, the ubiquitous "Hello all..." I am going to be in the LA area for a couple months this winter, and was wondering what the tours are like at JPL (such things DO exist, right?), and also what else would be of interest in the area to go look at along the same lines... Thanks! *-------(-:-S-t-a-n-d-a-r-d---D-i-s-c-l-a-i-m-e-r---A-p-p-l-i-e-s-:-)-------* |Dean J.

JPL has no facilities for dealing with the general public. That's a real shame because they have a lot of neat stuff. Old spacecraft, the photo libraray and the assembly facility are the neatest. On rare (and I mean rare) occasions, they have an open house. My other old stomping ground, Rockwell/Downey, opens up (or at least they used to) one Friday night a month. They have Apollo 14 and a full scale Shuttle mockup. Additional details can be provided on request. -- Perry G.
