Our man on the moon: gone but not forgotten
27 May 2021
Brian Schmidt pays tribute to the late Ross Taylor, the ANU professor who forever changed our understanding of the moon
.
Apollo 11 s 1969 moon landing was an out of this world event that stopped the planet. With Neil Armstrong s famous first step and footprint in the dust, humanity had finally reached another world. It opened the potential for us all to reach for the stars.
However, at the heart of this story is a less assuming but just as important character - the late Emeritus Professor Stuart Ross Taylor; a geochemist who, while not as famous as those Apollo 11 astronauts, played just as an important part in our understanding of our closest heavenly neighbour.
