Bob Beatty is an Australian Mining Engineer, with a reputation for innovative mining processes, and is the registered inventor of five mining related patents.

In the mid '80s he became skeptical over claims that, the Moon launched from the Earth in a violent collision involving an incoming heavenly body. Skepticism arose from the lack of universal application for this theory - particularly at planets where some satellites orbit in the opposite direction.

Bob decided there must be a logical answer based on physics and engineering theory. The search started in a re-appraisal of the old LaPlacian model of the Solar System, and lasted ten years. The results are in this 60-page essay, Planets, Satellites and Landforms.

A fascinating journey of discovery led to other possibly answers to some of our oldest geoscience conundrums including:

• Where did the Moon come from?
• Why do the outer satellites of Jupiter (and other planets) orbit in a retrograde direction?
• Are Mercury, Mars and Pluto true planets or solar orbiting satellites?
• What is the mechanism for the ring formation on Saturn?
• Where do comets come from?
• Why did the continents on Earth drift from one location, and where was it?
• What do diamond pipes represent?
• Which planets are most likely to have life forms similar to Earth's?
• Are retreating glaciers associated with 'global warming'?
• Why do Ice Ages occur?

The work draws parallels between previous stages of Dynamic Development on Earth and those currently occurring at the larger planets.
It suggests a Universal Dynamic Stage Development Sequence for all planets of "Super Critical Mass."
