Someone boot this spammer, we don't need any more Steve Curry scammers around. This reads like it was written in an insane asylum.

I'm sure this US World Record Mars Meteorite Discovery will make many careers for many scientists for a long time to come. NASA Houston Space Command will have to add another adjacent building to Building 31, or at least expand, just to store the new Mars material.
