Meteorites are educational because they hold the unknown knowledge that humans strive for in life. Since the time of recorded history the " Heavens " have been observed. Man has formed societies and ideologies based on the stars. Religions have linked themselves to these " Rocks from Heaven "( Ark of the Covenant). So many questions we humans have about the universe and what part we play in it. Meteorites are a link to our past and a possible bridge to our future. They stimulate our imaginations and fortify our need to explore. Meteorties are the seeds to understanding how life came about and what role we as human beings will play in the universe. Meteorites have been and will always be educational to anyone who just looks up!   Michael Mikowski  ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Bostick To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 10:30 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #4 - Meteorites are Educational Because....
