Dare Mighty Things – A Short History of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
David Lehman, Project Manager, Retired from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
TOPIC CATEGORY: Educational
Request This Free SpeechThe origins of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory date back to the 1930s, when Caltech professor Theodore von Kármán oversaw pioneering work in rocket propulsion.
