I am awful sorry, but to the best of my knowledge Stone was director until 30 April 2001 and Elachi from 1 May 2001 onwards : see [ [1]] On [ [2]] it says "In January 2001, Dr. Elachi was ***appointed*** as the Director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Vice President of Caltech.
Don't call something vandalism lightly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.53.150 ( talk) 23:34, 21 January 2005 (UTC)
Was Tsien Hsue-shen really director from 1949–1955? That would overlap the claimed dates for Frank Malina and Louis Dunn, if so, which seems a little unexpected. If it's accurate, then maybe a mention of co-directorship should be noted? -- Bovineone 05:22, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
JPL is in PASADENA not LA CANADA ... JPL is sandwiched between La Canada, Pasadena, Altadena and the LA National forest ... I hope to correct the article in due time — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.18.131 ( talk) 05:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

JPL has a facility near Wrightwood, California, named the Table Mountain Facility. Can someone with knowledge of the facility add to the article about it, as well as other "off sight" (outside Pasadena) projects? This article needs much more information. Right now its limited to mostly project names and the like. Michaelh2001 09:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I also believe a section on the NEO (near-earth objects) project needs to be added, I couldn't see any reference to it in the article, and what with all the Apophis stories about, it'd be nice to add a link to to it here from the Apophis article. PeterSmithee ( talk) 08:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
I've added Astro Turf to "Further Reading". It is a recent history of the JPL from a mainstream publisher which received strong reviews in the NYT, Washington Post, etc. In the interests of full disclosure, I know the author personally: MG and I were in the same section of a German class in college. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffreykegler ( talk • contribs) 17:03, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
This article claims that V2 rockets were analyzed during WWII, when in fact they were analyzed at the end of the war. From the White Sands Missile Range Website [5]:
In the closing days of the war, America embarked upon its own rocket development program and established White Sands Proving Ground (now White Sands Missile Range) in New Mexico as its principal site for rocket testing and development. In mid-August 1945, 300 railroad freight cars of V-2 components captured in the European Theater of Operations arrived in New Mexico. The Santa Fe Railroad spotted ten cars per day in Las Cruces, NM for unloading and transport by military and German personnel to the east side of the Organ Mountains.
A more appropriate sentence can be found in the article White Sands Missile Range:
V-2 rockets captured in Germany at the end of World War II were taken to WSMR for reverse engineering by the Hermes project, and as part of Operation Paperclip many V-2 rocket scientists were brought as well.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on
Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{

The rockets shown in one of the pictures on the page are no longer there. I'm not averse to leaving it there, even though it is outdated; it's a cool picture.
