Re: [meteorite-list] 3D laser scans of meteorites
Hi Svend, excellent 3D-laser scan work and detailed descriptions ! I´m a big enthusiast of 3D-printing. Especially future 3D printing in space. Like for spaceships, probes, etc. made with powder of catched asteroids. Thomas Kurtz Gesendet: Dienstag, 27.

Along the way, I gathered some gigabyte of STL data, but only used it for visualization purposes so far. See some examples here: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/home/meteorite-documentaries/3d-meteorite-scans Among others I chose two oriented chondrites for the project and came to wonder whether someone here is in the business of aerodynamic flight simulation. My question is, if the data gathered can be used to determine ablative flight orientation for a given shape. Perhaps there is an established test model with relevant parameters available? Thanks for your interest.

[meteorite-list] Belated happy New Year
A belated Happy New Year from Nevada. It was a pretty eventful New Years trip for us as we always stay at the Rio in Las Vegas. The Rio is off of the strip so we can normally view the entire celebration and fireworks show without ever leaving our suite. This year was different since there were two fires at the Hotel that filled the elevator shafts with acrid smoke. People panicked since they could not immediately get down off of the upper floors. The sprinkler systems shorted out the backup generator power causing even more problems. Some people automatically assumed some kind of terrorist attack since that is what they have been seeing on TV every other month. The fire department forced an evacuation so we were moved to another hotel right on the strip. It is interesting that they left the gaming floor open during all of this. We did not want to be part of the main crowd on the strip with hundreds of thousands of people partying but ended up there anyway. We were able to connect with family members and friends on the strip so it turned out to be fun after all. Happy New Year and Hoping 2017 will be a much better year for all.
