listened to a talk about the upcoming Lunar VISE, and it sounds supercool! particularly how they'll be able to use SiO2 spectra to determine rock comp, which will help more definitively point to either partial melting or underplating for the Domes

also SV shoutout at stop 2 on the rover traverse!!

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.
