I love JPL's straightforward bio:

https://www.nasa.gov/jpl/jet-propulsion-laboratory-history/

"JPL led the U.S. into space with Explorer 1, the first U.S. satellite, and joined NASA shortly after the agency formed in 1958. JPL spacecraft have flown to every planet in the solar system, the Sun, and into interstellar space in a quest to better understand the origins of the universe, and of life."

Not many organizations can say that: We've flown to every planet in the solar system. Wow. (And of course, they've done more than that.)
