The tickets are free, but will only    be availableonlineon a    first-come, first-served basis.  <\/p>\n<p>    The weekend-long event takes place May 20-21. With a ticket,    attendees will get an up-close look at JPL's Space Flight    Operations Facility, along with the chance to see models of    spacecraft and Mars rovers, according to the event's website.  <\/p>\n<p>    Until last year, the event wasn't ticketed. But, due to its    increasing popularity, JPL was forced to limit the number of    attendees:  <\/p>\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Ticket To Explore JPL - 2016\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jYnltWZZ4xQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <\/p>\n<p>    NASA scientists will be around to answer questions and educate    guests, Kimberly Lievense, JPL's public services office    manager, told KPCC. It's an event the staff looks forward to    every year, she said.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"JPL is a NASA facility, and it's difficult to get into NASA    facilities just because it's a working environment  not like    Disneyland,\" she said. \"It's an opportunity to see things [the    public] wouldn't normally get to see.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Each day of the event has 18,000 tickets available, all of    which will probably sell out in less than hour, Lievense    said.  <\/p>\n<p>    The maximum number of tickets per visitor is five. Children    under 2 don't require a ticket. Guests must have a ticket in    hand, plus they need to bring a matching ID if they're 18 years    old or older. The tickets can't be sold, according to the    event's website.  <\/p>\n<p>    The facility has held public open houses for decades. In    addition to the \"Explore JPL\" event each year, the facility    hosts public lectures and weekday tours that draw tens of    thousands of visitors from all over the world, according to its    website.  <\/p>\n<p>    The JPL Public Services Office also offers tours free of charge    for groups and individuals on a limited reservation basis.    Visitor parking is also available free of charge, according to    JPL's website.  <\/p>\n<p>    JPL is a federally funded research and development facility,    carrying out robotic space and Earth science missions,    according to its website.  <\/p>\n<p>    With contributions from Matt Bloom  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Link:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scpr.org\/news\/2017\/03\/10\/69800\/when-you-can-buy-tickets-to-visit-nasa-s-2017-jpl\/\" title=\"When you can get tickets to visit NASA's 2017 JPL open house - 89.3 KPCC\">When you can get tickets to visit NASA's 2017 JPL open house - 89.3 KPCC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Tickets for the annual \"Explore JPL\" event at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena will be distributed starting at 9 a.m. Saturday morning.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/nasa\/when-you-can-get-tickets-to-visit-nasas-2017-jpl-open-house-89-3-kpcc.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-215061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nasa"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215061"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215061\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
