@MarcAndreChart1 @pilliarscreatio Maybe his mood is caused by narrowly missing his chance to land on the Moon with Apollo 17 because of his helicopter crash.

@LaurieofMars @NASAJPL @WPI @WPICommencement @NASA Congrats on your accomplishment. Well earned.

@barbylon @LarryNittler Selenology was a popular term for studying lunar geology in the 50s and 60s. There were those who didn't like calling it geology because they weren't studying the Earth sensu stricto. Futility was realized when the term for studying rocks would have to be different for each body.

@SpaceXtls I tend to repeat myself. Just make sure you don't turn on your gas grill while making coffee. ;-)

[Jeffrey Gillis-Davis @JGillisDavis]
