We had to share this happy shot of the Leader of our Space Resources and Materials Node, Professor Marco Fiorentini. While co-chairing the Geochemistry of Mineral Deposits conference in Maine, (which also focussed on critical resources that may come from space), Marco visited the Maine Minerals and Gem Museum to see their impressive meteorite collection. In this picture Marco is holding a Mars meteorite in one hand and a Moon meteorite in the other!
