Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Center of the universe

While many big cities claim to be the center of the universe, the presence of this world-renowned space laboratory may help to bolster Pasadena's claim on the title. This 177-acre site, owned and operated by NASA, has been used as the nerve center for just about every significant space exploration mission over the past 25 years. Whenever a mission goes up, this place comes alive with activity and excitement, as we saw during the successful 1998 Mars Pathfinder mission. The JPL occasionally gives two-hour tours (by appointment only) and holds numerous special events for space enthusiasts.
