Re: [meteorite-list] "Thank You Scientists!"
Hi Ed, You asked, "I hope you and your brother are holding on to your planetary cutting dust -" I have the cutting dust from every Lunar of Martian meteorite I have, I am still waiting to use it in a special project at some point. I also have the cutting dust from just about every achondrite I have ever cut. I have ideas of how to use this material eventually, but am willing to consider other's ideas.

All NWA material (and other material found elsewhere) are 'UFO's' until the scientists prove they are "meteorites" (or not). This seems like a perfect time to acknowledge the hard work and efforts the scientific community has done for those of us who primarily work with NWA material. Without this handful of dedicated scientists, many Saharan finds would never be recognized as meteorites and brought to the many public and private collections throughout the world. Their work has added valuable information that may not have been discovered with these hot desert finds.

It was very close, and unfortunately due to inaction in detection budgets it is still too close to call. If other solar systems have accretion mechanics similar to ours, and there is no reason to assert otherwise, this factor must play a real role in Drake equation estimates. If other intelligent beings have bureaucrats as stupid as ours, and there is no reason to think anything else, then this must play a role in Drake equation estimates as well. Based on our sample of one, we can forget about searching for extra terrestrial intelligence (SETI), and should instead be concentrating our efforts on the search for extra-terrestrial stupidity (SETS).
