Cheaper than 90 Euro for 3 persons you won't find. in Feldkirchen or close to the fair ground. In Feldkirchen there is IBIS and HolidayInn cheapest.

[meteorite-list] Ad - New Collector Card Series and Auctions Ending!
Dear List, This week I would like to introduce a project I have been working on for some time as well as some great auctions. Be sure to check out this weeks offerings since I loaded several great items including more NWA 4293 lots for those who may be running low and some new bulk material lots priced below my costs. I am one month behind in liquidating these due to storage issues. All of the auctions can be viewed at this link, there are some really nice specimens this week and some do not even have opening bids yet: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZraremeteorites Back to the project: It took five years to collect enough cutting material from different planetary meteorites in order to create this comprehensive assemblage I refer to as the Planetary Collector's Card Series. I modeled these with a baseball jersey parallel card set in mind thus the 12 different serialized cards that make up this series. I hired a professional to do the artwork several months ago and I think the cards came out great. I also consulted Mr. Baseball himself, Commissioner Alexander Joy Cartwright IV and got the green light to proceed with the comment These are extraordinary, really cool! OK, the truth is, Alex is a good friend of mine and I showed him the proofs at a private party when he made this comment. His family actually invented baseball not Doubleday like most think. http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blbaseball.htm I had plans to mass produce some of these for a fundraising effort but there is no way to automat the manufacturing process since the planetary cuttings vary greatly in density so I limited production to 50 each, all serialized with a COA. I feel this is the ultimate way to share authentic material from the Moon/Mars with others since these will fit in a wallet/purse, you can clearly see the material in the viewing window and there is no danger of them breaking. Some of these are actual fragments instead of cutting dust so be sure to check them all out because they are priced to sell at just $29.95 each. A good example of value is a 2mg fragment of NWA 2737 (Card-8) will sell for more than this on a consistent basis and these cards contain more material. The entire SNC suite can be covered with card numbers 2, 6 and 8 for less than $90.00. I remember when this would cost $1,200.00 to accomplish!

In 2007, The Planetary Society will send a specialized silica-glass DVD to Mars aboard Phoenix, NASA's newest Scout mission, led by Principal Investigator Peter Smith at the University of Arizona. The disk, which is attached to the deck of the Phoenix lander, will include Visions of Mars, a collection of 19th and 20th century stories, essays, and art inspired by the Red Planet. The disk also includes special features, such as the famous 1938 radio broadcast of HG Wells' classic, War of the Worlds. People around the world can add their own names (or those of family and friends) to the archival disk that features the works of such visionaries as The Planetary Society's co-founder Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Percival Lowell, and many more. The Planetary Society is collecting up to several million names to send on the Mars-bound DVD. Visit The Planetary Society's website http://planetary.org/phoenixdvd to fly a name to Mars. Phoenix will be the first lander to explore the Martian arctic, landing near 70 degrees north latitude. Designed to search for and study water ice, the spacecraft is a fixed lander with a suite of advanced instruments and a robotic arm that can dig up to a meter into the soil. The Phoenix team hopes to uncover clues in the icy soil of the Martian arctic about the history of near surface ice and its potential for habitability. Launching in August 2007, Phoenix will land in May 2008. The DVD will also include a greeting and essay from the mission Principal Investigator, Peter Smith, and additional information about the Phoenix mission. Since the DVD will appear in some of the calibration images that Phoenix sends back from the surface, those who send their names will, in some sense, be able to see themselves on Mars! said Bruce Betts, the Planetary Society's Director of Projects. Well, sort of.. The special disk should last for at least many hundreds of years on Mars, plenty of time for a future generation to discover and read the Red Planet's first library. Disk contents represent 20 nations and cultures. Sending this DVD from Earth aboard Phoenix will be The Planetary Society's second attempt to cast this particular message in a bottle into the currents of space. Visions of Mars was created by the Society and placed aboard Russia's Mars 96 spacecraft. That mission failed shortly after launch. The Planetary Society has also helped collect names for several other space missions, including Stardust, the Mars Exploration Rovers, Deep Impact, Mars Pathfinder, and Cassini. Anyone may submit names to The Planetary Society to fly to Mars, including - in addition to their own - the names of children and grandchildren, classmates, friends, loved ones who have passed, or even a favorite family pet. Once a name is entered on The Planetary Society website, a certificate, stating that name's inclusion on the Phoenix Mars DVD, can be downloaded. The deadline for submitting names is February 1, 2007. The Phoenix Mission is led by Principal Investigator Peter H. Smith of the University of Arizona, with project management at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and development partnership with Lockheed Martin Space Systems. International contributions for Phoenix are provided by the Canadian Space Agency, the University of Neuchatel (Switzerland), the University of Copenhagen, and the Max Planck Institute in Germany. About the Planetary Society The Planetary Society has inspired millions of people to explore other worlds and seek other life.

[meteorite-list] University of Maryland to Lead Another NASA Comet Mission (Deep Impact-DIXI)
http://www.newsdesk.umd.edu/scitech/release.cfm?ArticleID=1361 For Immediate Release October 30, 2006 Contacts: Lee Tune, 301 405 4679 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Maryland to Lead Another NASA Comet Mission NASA announced today that it has accepted the University of Maryland proposal to send the Deep Impact spacecraft on an extended mission to get a close-up look at Comet Boethin. The University of Maryland-led team that produced the spectacular Deep Impact mission, which smashed an impactor into Comet Tempel 1 in July, 2005, hopes new information gathered from Comet Boethin will help coalesce the vast array of new cometary information into solid ideas about the nature of comets, how they formed and evolved and if they have played a role in the emergence of life on Earth. As we try to interpret the larger meaning for all comets of our results from Deep Impact at Tempel 1, we have realized more and more how important is the variation from comet to comet, said Deep Impact leader and University of Maryland astronomer Michael A'Hearn. Deep Impact's flyby spacecraft and payload are still healthy. We propose to direct the spacecraft for a flyby of Comet Boethin in December, 2008, to investigate whether the results found at Comet Tempel 1 are unique or are also found on other comets, he said. This mission is a very cost effective way to provide new results that can be directly compared to the landmark Deep Impact findings as well as with the results of Deep Space 1 and Stardust and the earlier results from the numerous missions to Comet Halley. Mission DIXI The proposed new mission is called DIXI, which stands for Deep Impact eXtended Investigation. DIXI will use the surviving Deep Impact spacecraft and its three working instruments (two color cameras and an IR spectrometer). Comet Boethin is now inbound to the sun from its most distant point that is nearly out to the orbit of Saturn, A'Hearn says. At encounter, Comet Boethin will be just outside Earth's orbit, closer to the sun than was Tempel 1 (at the orbit of Mars) but about the same distance from Earth. Like Deep Impact, DIXI will be a partnership between the University of Maryland, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and Ball Aerospace Technologies Corporation. One of the great surprises of comet explorations has been the wide diversity among the different cometary surfaces imaged to date, said A'Hearn, who will be principal investigator for DIXI. Even on Tempel 1, the comet we've imaged the best, there is shocking variability in its surface. The comet's different surface types clearly have undergone different histories. A'Hearn says the data obtained from DIXI will also will help scientists determine which characteristics of comet structure and composition are primordial, reflecting conditions and processes that existed 4.5 billion years ago when the solar system formed, and which are the result of evolutionary forces (heating and cooling, impacts, etc.) that have acted on comets since that time. Data from comets can help us to better understand the origin of the solar system, as well as what role, if any, comets may have played in the emergence of life on Earth, said Jessica Sunshine, a member of the Deep Impact science team, who will be deputy principal investigator on DIXI. However, we first must know which cometary characteristics are due to evolution and which are primordial. Deep Impact Surprises Deep Impact was the first large scale experiment ever conducted on a comet. The Deep Impact flyby spacecraft made many surprising discoveries on approach to Comet Tempel 1. These include an extremely fluffy composition that largely insulates the interior from heat experienced by the surface; frequent, natural outbursts; major differences in the distribution of carbon dioxide and water; craters and other surprising geological features; demonstration that the ice below the surface must be evaporating (subliming) to water vapor, and the first detection of ice (a very small amount) on a cometary nucleus. Since half the discoveries at Tempel 1 were from the flyby data taken before impact, DIXI can return half the science of Deep Impact for much less than 10 percent of the cost of Deep Impact, A'Hearn said. From the point of view of cost effective science, an extended mission such as DIXI is unbeatable. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Congratulations, Adam - These look to be perfect for children, a great way to utilize cuttings from lunars and martians for education, and a useful way for preparers to offset slicing costs. My best wishes for your success with this project. But why Stonehenge? I think that a larger image of either the Moon or Mars might have more effect.

Be sure to check out this weeks offerings since I loaded several great items including more NWA 4293 lots for those who may be running low and some new bulk material lots priced below my costs.

All of the auctions can be viewed at this link, there are some really nice specimens this week and some do not even have opening bids yet: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZraremeteorites Back to the project: It took five years to collect enough cutting material from different planetary meteorites in order to create this comprehensive assemblage I refer to as the Planetary Collector's Card Series. I modeled these with a baseball jersey parallel card set in mind thus the 12 different serialized cards that make up this series. I hired a professional to do the artwork several months ago and I think the cards came out great. I also consulted Mr. Baseball himself, Commissioner Alexander Joy Cartwright IV and got the green light to proceed with the comment These are extraordinary, really cool! OK, the truth is, Alex is a good friend of mine and I showed him the proofs at a private party when he made this comment. His family actually invented baseball not Doubleday like most think. http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blbaseball.htm I had plans to mass produce some of these for a fundraising effort but there is no way to automat the manufacturing process since the planetary cuttings vary greatly in density so I limited production to 50 each, all serialized with a COA. I feel this is the ultimate way to share authentic material from the Moon/Mars with others since these will fit in a wallet/purse, you can clearly see the material in the viewing window and there is no danger of them breaking. Some of these are actual fragments instead of cutting dust so be sure to check them all out because they are priced to sell at just $29.95 each. A good example of value is a 2mg fragment of NWA 2737 (Card-8) will sell for more than this on a consistent basis and these cards contain more material. The entire SNC suite can be covered with card numbers 2, 6 and 8 for less than $90.00. I remember when this would cost $1,200.00 to accomplish!

[meteorite-list] New Collector Card Series
Thanks Ed, Stonehenge was selected as an icon because it is a well-known ancient observatory where both the Lunar and Maritain cycles were witnessed among other celestial bodies. As a matter of fact, the table stone in the center of Stonehenge is used to track the Moon. I have had outside interest in mass producing a similar series but this simply isn't possible. There is no automated way of depositing the aliquot in the sample bay due to variability so this was done manually, a very time consuming process. Also, the scarcity of planetary material available to such a project would not allow for mass production. I priced all of the cards the same although my costs exceeded that of production in a few cases. The Artwork alone added a considerable amount to my costs. The nice thing is that I got a new logo out of the deal. I only produced 50 of each to see what happens. In all honesty, any revenue generated by this project will come no where near close to offsetting the costs of cutting loses. I just thought it would be a fun project and a good way to distribute small fragments/cutting dust in a presentable package. It took me over 5 years to collect sterile cutting dust or small fragments from 12 different planetary meteorites. It is the least expensive way for many to actually own a piece of the Moon or Mars, assemble an SNC set or own a piece of both the Highlands and Mare regions of the Moon plus I think they are cool!

[meteorite-list] Re: Americas Greatest Meteo rite Hunter
Just wanted to reply and say that I completely agree with Rubin. Americas Greatest Meteorite Hunter is Ivan Skip Wilson. As Ive been saying for years, now, He is the Man. And I think he will continue to keep that title for quite a while. But its not because of all the meteorites he has found. Skip Wilson is Americas Greatest for all that he has done AFTER finding those meteorites. If Skip Wilson had found all of those New Mexico meteorites, but then put them in a box and just kept them under his bed, would he still be Americas Greatest? Of course not. Its what Skip did with those meteorites, after he found them, starting back 30 years ago, that distinguishes him from the other meteorite hunters of his time. If you do a Google search on Skip Wilson or Wilson, I. E., you will find that he has been a coauthor of at least 6 scientific papers spanning a period of 20 years from 1973 to 1993. Since 1993, there have been at least 50 papers that have made reference to his Roosevelt County meteorites, not to mention the other papers that have been written about all the other New Mexico meteorites that he has found. Whenever there was a discussion about age-dating, or terrestrial weathering, or residence time, or rates of meteorite influx over time there would always be a mention of his Roosevelt County meteorites. The name Ivan Wilson has been well known to meteorite researchers for some time. But back in 1998, how many of the nouveau collectors at that time knew of him? It took the fall of the Portales Valley meteorite that year to finally make Skip Wilson a household name to the collecting community. And now that we are appreciating the fact that Skip has found 125 unique meteorite classifications out of his total of 211 New Mexico meteorite finds, it is only proper that we should considered some way in which to recognize all of his efforts. And in the case that Skip should receive that recognition, I would hope that he not be slighted by getting an award for all those meteorites he found. Yes, that would be a slight. Think about it. How would we know about his 125 unique meteorites, if Skip hadnt taken the extra effort to get each of his finds classified? We would be remiss, if we didnt give Ivan Skip Wilson an award for being the meteorite hunter that has contributed the most to the science of meteoritics. Bob V. - [meteorite-list] Americas Greatest Meteorite Hunter Ruben Garcia meteoritemall at yahoo.com Sat Oct 14 10:21:56 EDT 2006 Americas Greatest Meteorite Hunter This has been a very interesting and rewarding year with respect to meteorite hunting. Not only did I have the opportunity to take part in the filming of a TV show for the travel channel called Cash and Treasure Ive also had some wonderful hunting excursions. These treks into the wilderness have yielded some beautiful pallasites, siderites and of course chondrites both classified and unclassified. While all of this has been great, I must admit that one experience stands out among the rest. This year I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know, Americas Greatest Meteorite Hunter. This prolific hunter has found over one hundred and twenty five unique meteorite classifications. These include two urelites, one achondrite and a beautiful Portales Valley meteorite that nearly struck his house. (Portales Valley Meteorite that nearly struck his house.) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/meteoritemall/album?.dir=72cdre2.src=phstore=prodid=.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/meteoritemall/my_photos His name is Skip Wilson, and for nearly forty years he has been scouring remote areas of New Mexico for extra-terrestrial treasure. An amazing fact about Skip is that all two hundred and eleven of his finds were made in New Mexico. One meteorite came from De Baca County, three from Lea County, four from Curry County and the remaining two hundred and three coming from within Roosevelt County. How did Skip find so many unique meteorite classifications in such a small area? The answer may surprise you, as he did it by hunting mostly in areas called blow outs. (Here's Skip hunting a blow out area.) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/meteoritemall/album?.dir=904are2.src=phstore=prodid=.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/meteoritemall/my_photos A blow out is a bowl-shaped area that is virtually devoid of any sand. The constant wind in these particular areas formed the bowl by scooping out the sand, and exposing the hard clay-like surface below. In the process of removing the sand, the wind also uncovered hundreds of tiny stones. These stones that once rested upon the sand, now lay on the bottom of the blow out. Occasionally, hidden among these terrestrial stones are meteorites. Skip told me that he found his first meteorite in 1967 and that it took him two more years to find the second. This is

Bill, Do you trust that the little pink pills your doctor prescribes to you so that you can maintain minimal motor skills and be somewhat socially acceptable are pure? It is a matter of trust! If trust is not enough, believe what you want to believe, most of this material came directly from cutting type specimens at the University of Washington laboratory or in my shop in the presence of scientists. I don't need to justify this material to anybody, you are welcome to have a laboratory test the samples yourself.. The precision saws where sterilized before and after the cutting with preservation of this material in mind. Scientists helped in this endeavor. What else is somebody supposed do, flush it down a drain? What is neat about these cards is you can actually see the different shades in color when comparing them with one another Regards, Adam - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Adam Hupe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:49 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] New Collector Card Series Creative use of waste materials.
