Hi Everyone... As we all know, times are though and money is tight everywhere. It is just a shame to hear that NASA has cut funding to the work Rob McNaught does at Siding Spring and the ANU in Canberra and the Australian Government is hesitant to pick up the rather small bill. http://www.theage.com.au/technology/sci-tech/funding-black-hole-means-our-asteroid-sentinel-may-abandon-crucial-work-20120710-21ubf.html After having seen the short video report and the state of Robs gear one can only wonder. On the other side, Rob is really on of those guys that do an amazing job and hardly make the headlines. If I had the funds I'd pay for it... Cheers from down under Clemens Unger Mornington, Australia ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
