My most sincere apalogies to the others who have also contributed so much! All of your efforts are greatly appreciated as you have done more for the advancement of the understanding of our earth than all of the moon missions. All at your own expense with relatively little to show for the contributions you have made. As an example. How many billions of dollars has it cost to send a probe to Vesta? And how much material from vesta or the moon could be found right here on earth if a few million dollars was spent to actively search for rocks from space here on earth? Imagine how much could be found if the succesful hunters were given government grants to hunt full time? Have a great day! Steve
