I use the term "meteorite" to describe the stuff I wish that I had access to arbitrarily large amounts of, but of course I don't require that it pass through the Earth's atmosphere (in a destructive way) first. As much as I love a nice, fresh fusion crust, the big hunks could be straight off the asteroid. :-) Wouldn't paneling your walls in L 3.0 or H 3.0 look great? Or a coffee table made from a single slab of etched (and sealed for moisture, of course) iron? Forget stained glass windows, have very thin pallasite windows! (Of course, I'd still want one of these tables http://www.fossilhunter.co.uk/id12.html). Lunar sample? I call dibs on this one: http://apod.oa.uj.edu.pl/apod/image/9709/boulder_a17.jpg And as long as I have that hypthetical space ship, I could still toss a few meteorites into the atmosphere to get that fusion crust look! (Okay, maybe I should use Titan's atmosphere-- tossing rocks at the Earth might not make me too popular-- even if I didn't make strangelets, monopoles, and quantum black holes http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/28/lhc_cern_hawaiian_botanist_lawsuit) ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
