Cool. A bike is a good choice to get around the old propeller factory. I have always known people who work at JPL. My father worked on both Voyager projects, Galileo, and the Hubble wide-field camera. A good friend is one of the supervisors for the team that built the Mars Rovers. There are a bunch of others, too.
One of my common MTB routes takes me across the Hahamonga basin. I drop down into the dirt through the fence just outside of the east gate, and follow the trail that runs next to the parking structure towards the park on the west side of the basin.
