Why Is Bruce C. Murray Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Bruce Churchill Murray was an American planetary scientist. He was a director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and co-founder of The Planetary Society. Education and early life Murray received his Ph.D. in geology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1955 and joined Standard Oil of California as a geologist. He served in the United States Air Force as a geophysicist, and the U.S. Civil Service before joining California Institute of Technology in 1960.
