message: 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 []
On [] 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)
replies: text: Well we do get a lot of anonymous-IP vandals, and some of them specialize in arbitrarily altering data, including numbers and dates.  It would have been helpful to have included that URL as part of your original edit summary instead of just a blank edit summary.  If you were a signed-in user, I would have been more careful about calling it vandalism, but since there is no person's reputation associated with a random IP address, it is helpful to flag a suspicious edit as vandalism in the edit summary in case others see it later and wish to investigate other contributions by the same IP.  I did indeed investigate and find an apparently supporting URL before reverting, so I didn't do it lightly, but your clarification explains it. -- Curps 00:02, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Allright Curps. You sure did not do it lightly and it could have been vandalism.  I am not registered on the English Wikipedia because I do not work on it very often.  Long live Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.53.150 (talk) 00:20, 22 January 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Stone as director

message: 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)
replies: text: I've removed this line from the Directors section:  "Dr. Tsien Hsue-shen, 1949 – 1955."  According to  he is not listed as any of the directors. According to the wikipedia page on that person, he was also deported in 1955.  -- Bovineone 05:36, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Tsien Hsue-shen as director

message: 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)
thread_title: Article needs expansion

message: 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)

message: 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:  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.

message: 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.
