Everyone Says They Love Space—So Why Won’t They Fund It?
This past fall, I taught EEPS 0050: Earth, Moon, and Mars, an undergraduate course exploring the origins and evolution of rocky worlds. The class was lively, curious, and filled with students who genuinely loved space. They talked about alien civilizations, colonizing Mars, the Apollo and Artemis missions—eyes lit up when discussing the mysteries of the…
Is Mining the Moon Now Worthwhile?
The future of space exploration will be shaped not only by where we go, but by what we can use when we get there. The Moon, long a symbol of ambition, is fast becoming a cornerstone of sustainable space operations. With the Artemis program on the horizon and robotic missions scouting polar terrain, in-situ resource…
The Hidden And Powerful Truth About Space Science
The Hidden Utility of Space Science Space exploration has always inspired wonder. But beyond the headlines about rockets and rovers, there lies a quieter, more powerful truth: space science doesn’t just expand our understanding of the cosmos—it helps solve pressing problems here on Earth. That bridge between the abstract and the actionable is where I…
The Fury of Planet Mercury
Mercury is often the oddball of the inner solar system—small, dense, and seemingly inert. But beneath its scorched surface lies a record of planetary processes that punch far above its size class. For planetary scientists, Mercury isn’t just an endpoint in solar system evolution; it’s a testing ground for theories of differentiation, bombardment, and interior…
Complexity of Martian Landscapes: Fire, Ice, and Life
Mars is often imagined as a barren desert, yet its surface tells a rich and dynamic story—one of volcanoes, flowing water, and deep planetary change. As we map its features with ever-greater resolution, Mars emerges not as a static world, but as one that was once geologically and potentially biologically active. This post traces that…
Oh, Beautiful Moon: The NASA GRAIL Mission
When we think about the Moon, we often picture its surface—dusty plains, cratered highlands, and the dark volcanics known as maria. But some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs come not from what we see on the surface, but from what we uncover beneath it. That’s where NASA’s GRAIL mission (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) transformed…
