As there is a sensitivity to inflammatory comments involving religion and politics on this list, I would like to suggest that misogyny-- which is far more fundamental--not be tolerated. So not funny.

[meteorite-list] Return after 23 day expedition
Hi everyone, it seems that the sky is really falling during my absence! Congrats to the Canadians on the new fall, I might mosey on up there in a few months, it seems a heavy snow will put the newest arrival to our planet in deep freeze, protecting it in the meantime. My wife and I and some other list members were dancing in the desert picking up 130 new meteorites. I found my first R chondrite, and my wife found her first Ureilite! The rest are still in transit. I will only be home for a few days, then off to LA for next Sunday's Bonhams auction, where I have consigned many very nice meteorites, all but one with NO RESERVE, please register and bid away at www.bonhams.com See the auction page where I have narrowed down to only the meteorites here. http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r I will be leaving for Tokyo the very next day, with only a few hours home between flights, such is the life I guess, 52 hours of travel from leaving my hotel in the desert to arriving home last night, blah! Anyone who needs anything please call me ASAP or email me before I go to Japan.

[meteorite-list] NASA Mulls Sending Astronauts to Asteroid
http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14805577 NASA mulls sending astronauts to asteroid November 25, 2008 A new report by a high-level panel of experts has praised the idea of sending NASA astronauts to visit a nearby asteroid. According to *New Scientist*, the US National Research Council (NRC) report, titled Launching Science: Science Opportunities Provided by NASA's Constellation System, was written by a committee chaired by George Paulikas, a retired executive for the Aerospace Corporation, a think tank based in El Segundo, California. The report has high praise for a proposal to send astronauts to a nearby asteroid, or near-Earth object (NEO). The most compelling rationale for a human NEO mission is for its value as an intermediate step between lunar exploration and interplanetary travel, to prove new hardware and to maintain the momentum of the human exploration programme by showing sustained progress, the report said. The panel judged the science return from such a mission to be less interesting than from other proposals it considered, so did not put it in the highest-priority category for further study on that basis. But, it urged NASA's Exploration division, which is responsible for human space missions, to give the idea further thought. It was very compelling in the sense of exploration, but that wasn't part of the criteria we were given, panel co-chair and former shuttle astronaut Kathryn Thornton told *New Scientist*. The praise for the human asteroid mission comes hot on the heels of a policy paper by the Planetary Society of Pasadena, California, US, which urged NASA to defer Moon landings in favour of other possibilities, including a human mission to an asteroid. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Marsden Canadian fall
Hi All, One aspect of this new Canadian fall amuses me in particular. In the original report, we had quite a few facts about the bolide: SASKATOON - A fireball that lit up the skies of Alberta and Saskatchewan last Thursday evening was a chunk of low-flying asteroid that weighed about 10 tonnes before it struck Earth's atmosphere, according to a University of Calgary investigation. University of Calgary researcher Alan Hildebrand has outlined a region in western Saskatchewan where he expects to find desk-sized fragments of the space rock. Of course, these first two paragraphs are quite inconsistent with each other -- a bolide that weighed only 10 tonnes *before* it hit the atmosphere would be the size of a SINGLE desk. That's prior to atmospheric ablation, which certainly would have reduced the mass by 70-90%. How do you find desk-sized fragments on the ground following ablation of a single desk-sized original object? The fireball pierced the atmosphere at a steep angle of about 60 degrees off the horizontal and lasted about five seconds. The steep entry angle suggests catastrophic break-up into many pieces -- most of them small compared to the size of the original meteoroid. Obviously not desk-sized or even television-sized. Mind you, it's still an impressive fall. But I don't understand the need for hyperbole. How quickly people forget that we had an asteroid of KNOWN size (to within a factor of two) and orbit that entered over Sudan at a lower initial velocity and a much shallower angle, and yet officials poo-pooed that anything significant would reach the ground. This asteroid was at least 40 tons and quite possibly over 100 tons, had an orbit that intersected that of Mars (suggesting a possible SNC), and impacted in a location that would have been child's play to recover -- if it weren't for the minor matter of its landing in a third-world, genocidal disaster area of a country. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that the Sudan fall went off the radar almost immediately, yet was a far more substantial and scientifically important fall. But it seems not even meteorites are immune from sectionalism. -Rob __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] EBay Server issues?????
Hi List. Has anybody noticed that when you are on EBay searching for anything including meteorites that the pages load up slower and slower the longer you are on EBay! I am so frustrated that I want to head butt a 15kg Iron Meteorite!! At first I thought it was my computer but I have 7 Comps.3 PC's and 4 laptops and the same thing occurs! I then of course cleaned out my cache and temp files and STILL after a few minutes on EBay checking out the meteorite pages the pages slowly get longer and longer to load up and I MEAN LONG. Sometimes up to a minute or 2!! I have had a few friends say they too have noticed this with EBay on their comps. This has been going on now for several months! I have just complained to EBay that I feel they have server issues. Nevermind to tell me it's Xmas time and people are overloading EBay since I have noticed this long before Xmas time. My server is high speed internet so it is not my server. Now when I get off the EBay Site to any other Site runs fast as lightning. This is seriously ruining my search of items particularly meteorites on EBay. I want to vent out so bad but thought I would ask you my friends if anyone else notices this. Thank you and Happy Belated Thanksgiving.

Re: [meteorite-list] EBay Server issues?????
G'Day Don You're not alone in this. Several months ago, I had problems, I even vented to Mike Farmer in regards to issues and also to eBay, never got a response back from ebay. Possibly because of the way I vented to them. At the time, the problems I was having was that exactly at 17 seconds on a bid, I would be bumped off the site and have to sign in again, but the auction was over. I had a tech check it out and it was definitely a problem with ebay. But I've also noticed over the last month pages are also taking a long time to load up and worse yet, if you're bidding on something, usually the first refresh takes 3 seconds. But as you keep refreshing, the pages are taking up to 30 seconds. So as for bidding on ebay, I've given up. It's a lost cause.

Re: [meteorite-list] EBay Server issues?????
Hi Don and other frustrated eBay users, I've noticed the same thing starting around September. It is one reason I do not load that much on eBay any more. That, and traveling taking up a lot of my time. It seems I can load about 12 items and then it starts slowing down, down, down... eBay is losing lots of $$$ due to their issues because people are loading less items. I assume it is them loading cookies on user's computers and sniffing out information in order to compile data to cash in on their user demographics! My thoughts anyway!

[meteorite-list] AD - Catalog updated, NEW stuff!
Hello everybody, I hope you all enjoyed your long Thanksgiving weekend. Here in Colorado, it was very nice, until yesterday when it started snowing, not much in town, a whole lot in the mountains. There are lots of skiers who won't show up for work tomorrow, most of the passes and highways are closed. But I stayed home and brought my site up to date. And I added a bunch of cute, perfectly crusted, mostly oriented Camel Dongas. What I mean by mostly is nearly-perfectly. But just look at it this way: You are a cute little Camel Donga, with perfect complexion.errr crust, coming down to Earth at break-neck speed, you are being pushed, hit on all sides by other Camel Dongas, tossed around by explosions.. Surely you can be forgiven if you could not maintain your perfect composure..err orientation, all the way down. ;-) Enjoy! Anne M.
