Jet Propulsion Laboratory Open House

Once a year the Jet Propulsion Laboratory opens its doors to the public to get a glimpse of what's going on at the center.

Although it was incredibly crowded, it was a very well organized event for both kids and adults.

While Tony was explaining what planets are to Luciana, I was stuck explaining to Miles that the round things are planets NOT balls.
