I have this wonderful vision of the future.
The supply has dwindled to nothing and our collections
are worth small fortunes. The scientists are getting
bored of calling us looters, bandits, thieves and
bounty hunters as it means they won't be getting any
new stuff by insulting us

Hi Rob,
at least there is hope for those, who bought rare early pre-NWA-desert, that
their collections will gain value again after the devaluation of the last 5
years.
(Names and falls all in all never were afflicted).
Eeeeh, and Rob, those among the scientists still having the opinion you
Hi Rob,
That 'tis indeed a 'peachy utopia of a vision'! Though ironically it's the
scientists that are sending the robots to 'Farm' the Antarctic for pristine
space rocks, the collectors are the ones roaming the war zones and dry horrible
deserts of the world looking for the weathered brown
On the subject of large catastrophic impacts, it would be interesting to
see what would happen in such a case, of course anything big enough to
vaporize a city probably wouldn't have any/much cosmic material left, so
any small fragments might actually be quite valuable!
i dont know...
Hi Mark,
as far as sample return missions are concerned, we are still at a price per
gram for ordinary chondrites of 320 000 000$ - if the Hayabusa probe would
have been successful.
Gravity is quite an economically awful drag, friction too.
(I hope the US-government won't have the idea to
Yeah, that's true, but think of the market for 'broken glass in souvenir

Yes I can see the ebay title now - Ebay #134355 Ultimate hammerstone,

There would probably be a whole new series of new minerals too, molten
house glass mixed with vaporized

Hi all,
This weekend Sonny and I were once again out in the
field hunting for meteorites.
Sonny, along with his Son, and their friend Steve
Smith scoured a California dry lake bed and came up

If I'd sneak around in the Johnson Space Center,

the startled visitor: lokilookilooky Moon! Loookilooky 99,5% off from

isn't that then already a junk shop price?

Have any of the list members heard of Planet X and all of the predicted comets comming in with it? Could that possable be our future? I think NOT! But if a disaster happened from a large impact, we would all be under marshal law and there would be no economy! Actualy no food either for that
$25/gr. ...I find for $12/gr. similar material, for
not speack in Munich the best pieces shows have ask 15
euro for gram or under.
