In the winter of 1985 I was driving through the Mojave Desert with a friend, talking about our apparent need for new river gear. As we passed the Twenty Nine Palms Marine Base, a man unexpectedly appeared on the side of the road selling used ammo cans. My friend and I laughed wildly and quickly came to realize that the moment was "All In A Days' Karma". This blog contains the occasional ramblings of a died-in-the-wool westerner who loves seeing, understanding, and being alive upon these landscapes. I cherish the moments of bliss and irony that come to all of us as we explore the planet and its residents (and perhaps visitors) in the short time we are here.

Wanna Learn About Craters on the Moon?

Background illustration of the impact-cratered lunar surface produced by
the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio with data from the Lunar Orbiter
Laser Altimeter. Inset images of terrestrial analogue training sites, Meteor
Crater and Schooner explosion crater, are by the author and
Department of Energy, respectively.

My neighbor and colleague,, Dr. David Kring, has just published a training guide for future Artemis Program astronautsto on hoe to understand the formation and landforms of craters on the moon . You can see about obtaining a digital copy of the book here. I have read parts of it and it is so damn interesting!
