I do wish Marc and NASA every success in trying to pull this off. What surprises me is that a similar effort wasn't undertaken for the fall over Lake Michigan last year, just offshore from Wisconsin. That one should be FAR easier to recover -- the water is clear (thanks to the zebra mussels), the depth minimal (<250 feet), the bottom sandy rather than silt and muck, and little to no waves to contend with. --Rob

"Against all odds, NASA may have actually found a meteorite on the bottom of the ocean:" <https://bgr.com/2018/07/05/ocean-meteorite-nautilus-nasa-expedition/> They say: "...researchers will examine the fragments more closely and hope to conclusively determine that they are indeed from space. If the rocks are indeed extra- terrestrial, it will mark an incredible accomplish- ment for the expedition team." I'll say! Sterling K.
