The founding of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory marked a significant milestone in rocket research from "summary" of Ignition! by John Drury Clark

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory was founded in the midst of World War II, a time when the United States was investing heavily in rocket technology. The Laboratory, located in Pasadena, California, was established by a group of scientists and engineers who were tasked with developing rocket propulsion systems for military purposes. This marked a significant milestone in rocket research because it brought together some of the brightest minds in the field to work towards a common goal. The scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were pioneers in the field of rocketry, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible at the time. The work done at the Laboratory laid the groundwork for many advancements in rocket technology that would come in the years following its founding. The research conducted there not only had military applications, but also paved the way for space exploration and the eventual landing of humans on the moon. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory became a hub of innovation and creativity, with scientists and engineers collaborating and sharing ideas to solve complex problems. The atmosphere of collaboration and innovation fostered at the Laboratory was instrumental in the breakthroughs that were achieved in rocket research.
