39. Starting from space - Maria Zuber, MIT

Recent maps of the Moon's gravity have taught us a lot about its overall shape, and have been invaluable for lunar exploration. Maria Zuber, principal investigator of the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, reflects on  the twin spacecraft and their implications for future investigations.
