Makayla Gallimore- Blog #7 JPL part 2
Blog #7
By Makayla Gallimore
I was so excited to have the opportunity to visit JPL for the second time!! What really intrigued me was going to the OPs lab and talking to Sasha. The fact that we could virtually set foot on Mars and walk around and even draw with our hands is out of this world, literally!! Wow what a concept! So cool! I definitely felt like a kid in a candy store! I could bend down and see the detail of each rock and even change the size of the Mars rover. This was one of the coolest pieces of technology that I have seen by far. It just goes to show how much technology has evolved and it also shows us a glimpse of what is to come in the future. The astounding inventions that JPL has shown in front of our very eyes has inspired me a lot.

Another exquisite place that I found super cool was the museum that we went to last.I saw an exhibit that showed how infrared light worked when we stood in front of a camera. Ultimately Scientists use these infrared lights for space missions to see where the hot spots are on the planets.It also helped the Mars Exploration Rovers navigate around Mars. It even helped them see where stars were forming in the galaxies beyond us. The next piece from this exhibit blew my mind! It so unreal to see one of the lightest pieces of material on earth in person. All in all I am so grateful to be able to say I went to JPL and experience new beginnings of what is to come in the near future!
