TL;DRAbstract
My career as a professional astronomer was some 15 years old when it first became necessary for me to learn something of the new developments in the solar system. At that time, in the mid-1970's, I was about as ignorant of the solar system as one trained in astronomy could possibly be. Worse than that, I had an attitude typical of many astronomers today. Because the field was old, I thought it was dull and uninteresting! Nevertheless, when it became necessary for me to give an introductory course in solar system astronomy, I thought I must try to understand what all the fuss over moon rocks was all about.
