| Description | Tells Professor Urey that he heard J Green's talk about 'vulcanism on the moon' at a summer study group he had attended and that 'this was so ludicrous that it really made me mad, to find one is discussing subtle points yet one's audience is largely taken in by a discussion that belongs into a home for the feeble minded. (I must say that I was able to hold my own in that group though)'. Says that he enjoyed reading Professor Urey's 'evaluation of Ranger evidence. All the points where my evaluation would differ are only ones where both you and I would feel unsure anyway, but where our uncertain guesses are not alike'. Also says that Shoemaker 'now discusses 'deep beds of fine grained homogeneous debris' and argues that this is a novel view he has recently evolved. I still remember the years when he was most contemptuous of any such point of view and advised NASA accordingly. Now he has discovered it!'. |
