[Interview+] How Moon's Ridges Reveal Secrets About Its Geology

Nice to catch up on developments on what is known on the Moon. Algorithms on what rock types can form from protoliths is interesting ( Yes, thanks for that new word) I remember asking at an online NASA related event once some years ago (affirmatively answered), if we could algorithmically determine rock type formation in newly formed planetary bodies if we knew what stellar nucleosynthesis generation products they were assembled from relative to their size. I wish I'd had that word then. Its a different form of formation than what is happening with the impacts on the moon but that word would have made my question then easier to be understood 🖖🏼👽

The geology of other worlds is so fascinating. Thank you for having Dr.Cole Nypaver on.

It's exciting to think about astronauts going back to the moon! Learning its geology is essential if we want to build a permanent outpost there.

An excellent interview, hi lighting that even though we've studied the moon for a long time there's still plenty to discover.

Humans of science, discovery, education, and sharing such things should rule the world beat it politicians

I appreciate how Dr. Cole provided so much information in regards to his field of study, and I learned a lot gave me a bunch to think about but he also touched base on other planets and other things within his realm and pushed for more discoveries for other planets kudos sir thank you

Yhoo

Marvellous! Thank you. This conversation rekindled my excitement as a teenager in the 1970s thinking about the emerging 'geologies' of bodies across the solar system -- the big lab right on our doorstep.

Love the princess bride quote in the beginning lol

As a retired Earth Science teacher, I found this incredibly fascinating and a substantial amount of it new, especially some of the geology and processes involved in the “weathering” to create regolith.
