Thinking of one of my favorite professors, Ron Greeley as we prepare for the launch of #EuropaClipper ! Ron challenged and inspired students to engage. Pick up representative rocks, think about the processes that shape the landscape, and maintain the field vehicles during the trip! Photos: Ron at Amboy Crater and Ron at JPL next to Galileo spacecraft model. A tribute to him is on the vault plate. https://europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/vault-plate/

@KalofXeno I'm proud he was on my committee, and he certainly asked the hardest questions at my orals.

My first semester (2007, oof!) he spent a class just running through his Europa Orbiter concept. And now what it evolved into is in flight.
