I will talk about, the measurement of little g; Lunar laser ranging (This
year is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon.); and
the measurement of big G, the Newtonian constant of gravitation. I believe
that by extending the reach of our hands & quickening the response of our
eyes, new measurement methods and instrumental capabilities have driven
and implemented much of scientific progress. In my talk I will evidence
the commonality of all precision measurement physics and introduce some
thoughts about doing science. My aim will be for you to carry away from my
talk some new thought, idea, awareness, or perhaps just a saying that you
will want to think about long after I’m gone.
