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!

Happy Birthday, USA! Let’s move forward and value substance over spectacle. We have seen the power of lies and the dangers of complacency. Let’s resolve to cherish the truth and guard it judiciously.

Remember, as Mark Twain put it, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” Once truth arrives, it stands unassailable.

Goodbye DarkSky, it was cool working with you on Project Quicksilver with Mapbox and Forecast.io back in 2013.

#introduction (ver. mapstodon.space)

Hi, I’m Andy, a planetary geologist living on Planet Houston. I currently work at NASA-JSC for a contractor company. I spend my time crafting maps for Artemis Program. Previously, I targeted CTX for a little over 5 years at MSSS. I mostly use #GDAL, #QGIS, #Python, and ImageMagick to get stuff done but am looking to always learn more #FOSS software.

Other interest include: #StarTrek , #Superman , #DataVis, scuba diving, and hiking.
