Hello List, The Meteorite Market is Crashing!, The Meteorite Market Has Crashed the Last Two Years!, Things Are Not Selling, The Market is Ruin.it seems a common theme or underlined theme in the meteorite community. I have never seen this to be true. In fact, it appears to me that sales and interest has done nothing but increase.and at a really amazing pace.

Re: [meteorite-list] General Meteorite Interest Has Increased 100% InLast Year
Servus Mark, 50% more collectors, 50% more sales, but 90% lower prices - that's what we find in Pandora's box. I would guess that meanwhile the greater part of meteorite friends came over ebay and internet to collecting within in the last 3 years. They just aren't aware, that they hit the culmination of the desert rush, a singular, extraordinnary event (as long as the antarctics will not released) in history of meteorites, which is without example since the beginnings of meteoritics and which wont repeat in future (so that once we will tell our grandsuns and -daughters from the prices of today and we will bite off the parts where we we are sitting on, that we didn't load our cellars and garages full of the extraterrestial stuff). Those collectors just don't know, that even 5 years ago it was not possible to buy a howardite for 10$/gm or a Moon at 300$/gm and that not long ago there were perhaps only 200 or 300 different meteorites available and not more. That's, I think, what Captain Blood an we other veterans mean, when we snivel about the Crash.

[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rover Update - September 29, 2004
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit back to normal operations - sol 243-262, September 29, 2004 Spirit has successfully transitioned back to normal operations from conjunction operations, when Mars and Earth were on opposite sides of the Sun. During conjunction (sols 244 through 255), engineers and scientists did not attempt normal operations due to the low probability of successful communications. From sols 244 to 249, the rover team did transmit several no operation commands to test the communications link. On Spirit's sol 249, Opportunity experienced an unexpected software reset, apparently triggered by a corrupted no operation command. As a result of that problem, engineers ceased all commanding on Spirit from sol 250 until sol 256, at which time the likelihood of receiving corrupted commands was once again very low. From sols 244 through 255, pre-loaded sequences performed daily science, which included atmospheric studies (using the miniature thermal emission spectrometer and the panoramic camera) and Mössbauer spectrometer integration on the filter magnet, which is one of two dust-collecting magnets on Spirit's main deck. Spirit relayed data to the Mars Odyssey orbiter every afternoon throughout conjunction. Odyssey in turn attempted to relay that data back to Earth with limited success due to solar conjunction. As a result of the difficulties getting data off of the rover, the memory available for science data storage shrunk to roughly 100 megabits by sol 261, but has recovered as of sol 262 to roughly 400 megabits. Sol highlights: Sol 243 was the last sol of normal commanding for Spirit before conjunction. The rover team successfully re-transmitted four conjunction sequences that had not made it on-board during the sol 242 uplink. The team saw no transmission errors (but commanded everything twice just in case), and the rovers performed the commanded remote sensing science. On sol 244, the rover team transitioned into conjunction operations and did the first no-op commanding tests during midday to see how effective the command link was as Mars moved further behind the Sun. The team received data from the Odyssey orbiter indicating that Spirit was healthy and proceeding normally with on-board conjunction sequences. Sols 245 through 255 were the solar conjunction quiet period. No commanding was done. Spirit automatically took daily atmospheric science measurements and made filter magnet observations with the Mössbauer spectrometer. During sols 256 through 257, Spirit took 48 more hours of Mössbauer observations on the filter magnet. A dirt clod from a previous Mössbauer soil touch was inadvertently placed on the perimeter of the filter magnet on sol 240. As a result, engineers believed this could have been the rover team's last best chance to collect Mössbauer data on the uncontaminated dust sample from that magnet. This is because when the Mössbauer instrument was removed, there was a chance that dirt from the clod would sprinkle or spread to the center area of the magnet. On sol 258, the team removed the Mössbauer instrument from the filter magnet and took microscopic images of the both magnets. From the image thumbnails, the team could see that some dirt from the clod was indeed deposited on the outer area of the filter magnet. Front hazard-avoidance camera images taken after the Mössbauer spectrometer was removed clearly showed dirt still attached to the Mössbauer contact plate. After finishing with the magnets, engineers moved the rover arm back down to the soil, to the same spot that had been touched by the Mössbauer instrument on sol 240. The rover team then repeated a microscopic imager sequence of that soil to see if winds had deposited anything there during conjunction. The team then centered the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer on the same soil and started an integration later that night. On sol 259, Spirit changed tools to the Mössbauer spectrometer and started a 24-hour integration on the same disturbed soil spot. Spirit also started a three-sol thermal investigation, using panoramic camera and miniature thermal emission spectrometer observations of soil targets several times during each sol. On sol 260, Spirit completed the Mössbauer integration of the disturbed soil. On sol 261, Spirit stowed its arm then drove backwards 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) to take post-conjunction panoramic camera pictures of the soil underneath the rover as part of the conjunction wind experiment. Spirit also took navigation camera images of the road ahead in preparation for future drives. On sol 262, due to the limited amount of available science data storage, planned activities were limited to a Mössbauer spectrometer integration on a rock, limited remote sensing, and routine atmospheric observations. That plan did not make it on board due to a problem during the communications uplink session. The deep space network antenna was pointed a few degrees below its

Hi Steve, sorry that I have to choose this way to contact you, but you are ignoring all my emails and play dead. Steve, when I buy two items from you and you just send me one, I get a little bit disturbed. When I tell you that one is missing and you tell me you sent both, although my girl friend has seen me unpacking your mail and finding just one piece, I get more disturbed. But when you then ignore all my emails that ask you to resolve that matter, I get angry. And I am very angry now. It's not about the loss of $20 for me. It's about lack of character, betrayal and a CONTINUED story of playing foul. May I remind you of the tricks you played with your sale lately? When you offered bigger and bigger discounts, but at the same time raised base prices so the items became more expensive in reality? You ducked and covered when I found out your malpractice. You can't duck and cover now. Steve, either send me the missing NWA 067, refund my money or lose one of your few remaining friends. It's up to you. Choose wisely.

[meteorite-list] Genesis Mission Status Report - September 30, 2004
MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICE JET PROPULSION LABORATORY CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION PASADENA, CALIF. 91109 TELEPHONE (818) 354-5011 http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ DC Agle (818) 393-9011 Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Gretchen Cook-Anderson (202) 358-0836 NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C. Bill Jeffs (281) 483-5035 Johnson Space Center, Houston News Release: 2004-245 September 30, 2004 Genesis Mission Status Report The Genesis team is preparing to ship its samples of the Sun from the mission's temporary cleanroom at the U.S. Army Proving Ground, Dugway, Utah, to NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston. We have essentially completed the recovery and documentation process and now are in the business of preparing everything for transport, said Eileen Stansbery, Johnson Space Center assistant director of astromaterials research and exploration science. We still have a way to go before we can quantify our recovery of the solar sample. I can tell you we have come a long way from September 8, and things are looking very, very good. A major milestone in the process was the recovery of the Genesis mission's four separate segments of the concentrator target. Designed to measure the isotopic ratios of oxygen and nitrogen, the segments contain within their structure the samples that are the mission's most important science goal. Retrieving the concentrator target was our number one priority, Stansbery said. When I first saw three of the four target segments were intact, and the fourth was mostly intact, my heart leapt. Inside those segments are three years of the solar samples, which to the scientific community, means eons worth of history of the birth of our solar system. I saw those, and I knew we had just overcome a major hurdle. Other milestones in the recovery process included the discovery that the gold foil collector was undamaged and in excellent condition. The gold foil, which is expected to contain almost a million billion atoms of solar wind, was considered the number two priority for science recovery. The polished aluminum collector was misshapen by the impact. However, it is intact and expected to also yield secrets about the Sun. Another occurred when the cleanroom team disassembled the collector arrays. They revealed, among large amounts of useable array material, some almost whole sapphire and coated sapphire collectors and a metallic glass collector. Packing solar samples for transport is a little different than packing a house-worth of belongings for a cross-country move. After the meticulous process of inspection and documentation, each segment of collector gets its own ID number, photograph and carrying case. The samples and shipping containers fill the space of about two full size refrigerators. The Genesis material will probably move to the Johnson Space Center within the next week. If you had told me September 8 that we would be ready to move Genesis samples to Houston within the month I would have replied, 'no way,' said Genesis Project Manager Don Sweetnam of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. But here we are, with an opportunity to fulfill our major science objectives. It is a great day for Genesis, and I expect many more to come.

Re: AW: [meteorite-list] nwa 176 - or: Playing dead will NOT work
Bernhard, Welcome to the Wide Wacky World of Steve (Captain Chicago) Arnold and his goofy meteorite antics. If you will continue emailing him requesting either a clarification of one of his dippy sales offers, or (as in your case) for him to comply with the assumed commitment for him to actually send to you everything that was bought - then- eventually you can expect an email from him that will ask Why are you picking on me? And that, my friend, will be the last you are likely to hear from him. Sorry you had to learn about the true character of good ole Steve the hard way. Jerry Bernhard Rems wrote: Hi Steve, sorry that I have to choose this way to contact you, but you are ignoring all my emails and play dead. Steve, when I buy two items from you and you just send me one, I get a little bit disturbed. When I tell you that one is missing and you tell me you sent both, although my girl friend has seen me unpacking your mail and finding just one piece, I get more disturbed. But when you then ignore all my emails that ask you to resolve that matter, I get angry. And I am very angry now. It's not about the loss of $20 for me. It's about lack of character, betrayal and a CONTINUED story of playing foul. May I remind you of the tricks you played with your sale lately? When you offered bigger and bigger discounts, but at the same time raised base prices so the items became more expensive in reality? You ducked and covered when I found out your malpractice. You can't duck and cover now. Steve, either send me the missing NWA 067, refund my money or lose one of your few remaining friends. It's up to you. Choose wisely.

[meteorite-list] 100-kg meteorite from Westerwald region of Germany (1930)??
Article about - 100-kg meteorite from Westerwald region of Germany (1930)?? Apologies if this has already been posted. Bob V . --- http://www.slovakspectator.sk/clanok-17394.html RESTAURANT TRAILS: Waiter - I've found a meteorite in my soup! By Michaela Brezinová Special to the Spectator http://www.slovakspectator.sk/clanok?cl=17394 A LARGE lump of luck. photo: Michaela Brezinová http://www.slovakspectator.sk/vydania/2004037/photo/8.jpg Café Soleil Where: Markuovského 509, trba When: Monday-Sunday 16:00-24:00 Reservations: No English menu:Yes Contact: (Boena Neuhausová) 0903/619-959 TUCKED AWAY under the foothills of the majestic High Tatras lies the village of trba. Blink your eyes and you'll probably miss it. Rest up awhile and you are quite likely to come across the tiny Café Soleil. From the outside there seems nothing remarkable about the place, or anything particularly different from many other Slovak hostelries. That is, until you enter. What is immediately apparent is the rather peculiar atmosphere it conjures, derived from a sort of visual disorientation. Then as your eyes become accustomed to the surroundings, you begin to see why. The place is a clutter of oddly interesting objects. And none less so than its owner Friedrich W Neuhaus. Originally from Germany Herr Neuhaus is a collector, or more to the point, a hoarder with a penchant for historical artefacts and anything that falls out of the sky. Everything in his cafe, from an 83-year-old mineral water bottle, to his prized chunk of meteorite, provides a constant talking point among the curious locals, and anyone else who happens to stray inside. Neuhaus arrived in Slovakia by chance. Being a keen hunter his original plan was to go on an expedition in deepest Africa, but fate intervened and he was sidetracked to Czechoslovakia. At first I was scared about coming to a communist country, but soon found the people very nice and hospitable, he said. So taken was he with the Slovaks that he eventually married one, and off they went to start their married life in Germany. But after a couple of years in his homeland they decided to return to Slovakia, bringing with them the Neuhaus collection of rare artefacts. They set up home under the Tatras and two years ago, in keeping with his wife's family background, they bought the Café Soleil. I come from a gastronomic family, Boena Neuhausová explained. My grandpa built a tavern and pension in trba during World War II that was the first of its kind in the region. Even though I studied languages, I have always been inclined towards gastronomy. But the café was built and furnished by my husband, it's all his work. And her spouse is extremely proud of his collection of rare oddities. Each article has its own unique value. It's hard to tell which one is the most precious, he said, adding that one item in particular generates the most curiosity among his customers - his cosmic rock. The 100-kilogram meteorite, almost half a metre in diameter, was found in the Westerwald region of Germany in 1930. When my family were working in their fields they ploughed up this weird stone. At first glance it was immediately different than other stones, recounted Neuhaus. They analysed it at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen and proved that it really was a rock from outer space. It's a mixture of various metals, that's why it is so heavy. And it is black because it got burned when entering the earth's atmosphere. The meteorite happens to be allegedly invested with other metaphysical properties - luck. We get locals and foreigners who come here, and they all want to touch the meteorite for luck. We also touched it, and everything worked out well, proclaimed the happy couple. Elsewhere in the café his other numerous earthly objects attract much attention, ranging from a pre-historical carving tool to an early radio. Alongside ancient Celtic receptacles there is a 19th century tin cup with a glass base through which mariners used to spy on their mistresses. A measuring decanter from the Austro-Hungarian period looks decidedly out of place next to a set of slave's manacles. Patrons can also donate their own possessions to the café providing they meet with the proprietors' approval. It has to be interesting, curious and old. I have newer things too, but these are not attractive because they lack any story or history, Neuhaus said with the air of a museum custodian.

[meteorite-list] Two Slow moving meteors over NE Pennsylvania
Any de-orbit/decay expected tonight Sep 30, 2004 over Eastern North America? Perhaps there is a swarm in orbit-- both fireballs were very similar in look and trajectory. Interesting greenish color, low incandescant fireballs tonight at 8:21 and 8:27 Observed along Rt 209 in Carbon County Pennsylvania. They were slow moving, falling east to west. The first one glowed on two spots on the body itself after the fireball extinguished. This glow remained visible for almost as long as the fireball portion of flight. The observations were about 4-5 miles apart along the east west roadway. Didn't hear any sonic booms. (yeah ok ok I'll get around to a fireball report in time) I am announcing this now in the event that there is a stream and someone else gets to checkout their section of the sky.
