Cal Tech & shopping.

On the third day, we went to the California Institute of Technology. Its a very big campus with only about 2000 students in it, however it produces a good amount of noble prize winners from it. Its main core of subjects are science and math. It also offers some business subject course. The school is some what like Hogwarts, it has a housing system. There are four houses and each houses are subject to each students personality traits. Its environments are based on trust systems, which means to say, if you put you laptop out in the open, it is trusted that on one will steal it; Even in exams and tests, the lectures aren't allowed in the exam room, as they trust the students will not cheat and do their work on time. It has close to none failure rate.

After the tour in Cal tech, we went shopping.

Fullerton, the roads, Nasa JPL(Jet Propulsion Lab)

So, on the second day of the trip, i woke up at 730, went down for breakfast at 8. Then i walked down Fullerton, the area round the hotel, and i took some interesting shots before i got back to the hotel at 12 to leave for JPL. (The study trip was suppose to be for JPL ,Cal tech, and Edwards air force base.) At JPL, the tour guides from NASA explained to us about the use of robotics and how it affects the satellites and rovers on space mission to Mars and other planets. Also, how the scientist communicate with the satellites, and it takes like 3seconds round trip to 'talk' to the satellites near the moon, but about a day to the satellites visiting Jupiter. Oh i also saw a sneak peak on the construction for the capsule which will be headed to mars in 2 years time. This capsule is suppose to carry the rover up there and will be launched on Areis1, which will replace the space shuttle. Also, i saw the control room, where they will conduct the mission for the rover landing on Mars. It was like in the movies, Houston. There where deers in the JPL premises, wild ones.
