Brower Propulsion Laboratory At Parker's Box

From Press Release:
Parker's Box is delighted to announce the first ever public presentation of unclassified artifacts, documents, projects, objects, models and paraphernalia from the Headquarters of the aerospace dwarf company, BPL (Brower Propulsion Laboratory). The gallery is most excited to be giving the public an opportunity to view material from this most innovatory spacelab that was still operating entirely in secret just a few months ago, due to the controversial nature of some of its important research.
