It seems like this is going to be a tough day for the NASA family, but happy fourth landiversary to the Mars 2020 team. Perhaps it's a reminder of what we can do together.

Wear whatever team gear you want, but if you have an Eagles hat on you are obligated to Go Birds when called upon.

Satellite imagery captured by MAXAR showing the extent of the Eaton Fire in North Pasadena and Altadena.

Although first responders were successful in keeping the fire from JPL, over 150 JPLers have lost their homes. Here’s link to the Caltech/JPL disaster relief fund if you’re so inclined: caltech.imodules.com/controls/ema...

Thanks for your support of our JPL family.

Also there are existing plans for lunar infrastructure in the 2030s…

Also, curiosity doesn’t have a second u, but curious does. This always annoys me.
