"It won't bring as much as an earlier find: a 1,400-pound space rock that resembles a massive, slightly rotting yam. Ugly is only skin deep, however. This monstrosity sold for a cool million." So, I didn't know the "rotten yam" had sold, is that true? I like yams. Dave F.

"...a 1,400-pound space rock that resembles a massive, slightly rotting yam. Ugly is only skin deep, however. This monstrosity sold for a cool million." http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=a.flI69Q4Dvg&refer=muse Pilot Science Show Features Meteorites, Stem Cells, Speedy Cars By Dave Shiflett Jan. 2 (Bloomberg) -- A new PBS show promises breaking news from the world of science, a nice alternative to cable news alerts whenever the president stubs his toe. ``Wired Science,'' which debuts tomorrow at 8 p.m. New York time, is part of an interesting contest in which viewers will help decide PBS's next weekly science program. Two other pilots, ``Science Investigators'' (Jan. 10) and ``22nd Century'' (Jan. 17), round out the competition. ``Wired Science,'' a fast-paced, far-reaching collaboration between PBS and Wired magazine, will be hard to beat. The hour-long show kicks off with a segment on professional meteorite hunters. Viewers contemplating a career move should take note: Sometimes heaven rains far more than pennies. Steve Arnold, a professional meteorite hunter, drags a jerry-built metal detector through an otherwise nondescript Kansas field. Strange noises emanate from the machine and fierce digging commences. Wired correspondent Adam Rogers reaches down into the dirt and pulls out a meteorite the size of an anvil. It won't bring as much as an earlier find: a 1,400-pound space rock that resembles a massive, slightly rotting yam. Ugly is only skin deep, however. This monstrosity sold for a cool million. Meteorites Indeed, there's a competitive market for meteorites, which some people consider art. At one ``meteorite gallery'' we see a fairly modest projectile on sale for $89,000; the one unearthed earlier in the show is appraised at $12,000. In another segment, a plasma television is sawed in half, followed by a short tutorial on how plasma works. We also learn that screens in the future will likely be paper-thin. Later, we visit an underwater facility off the Florida coast where astronauts prepare for life in the stars. Water is a ``close analogue'' to space and the 10-day, highly confining experience helps determine if would-be spacefolk can hack life locked in an alien environment. The only touch of controversy comes in a segment on embryonic stem-cell researcher Renee Reijo-Pera, who started her career as a bookkeeper in an auto-repair shop. These cells, she explains, have no fixed identity and so can be used to repair muscle, nerve, liver, skin and other damaged cells. As for suggestions that embryos should be considered sacrosanct, she responds they have a great deal of ``potential'' but ``no potential if discarded.'' Electric Car On a lighter note, there's a look at those ``rocket packs'' made famous by James Bond and once considered a possible weapons system. That project, known as Operation Grasshopper, didn't return much on investment though there was intense interest at high levels. Archived footage shows President John F. Kennedy at one flight demonstration. This was neat stuff, but a rocketing soldier could easily be brought down by even a slightly talented marksman. As the show winds down there's a brief interview with Elon Musk, former chief executive officer of PayPal Inc. and now involved in higher-tech developments, including an electric car that will go from zero to 60 in under four seconds. That's faster than all Porsches and almost all Ferraris. `Good Viruses' The first model is scheduled to roll out in six or seven months, Musk says, though where to drive these earth-bound rockets is a subject left untouched. The show ends with a look at ``good viruses'' found in the highly acidic thermal fields of Yellowstone. So-called ``extremomphiles'' can be hollowed out and used to transport chemotherapy directly into cancer cells. These microscopic multitaskers can also be used to produce hydrogen -- thus helping us beat our addiction to foreign oil -- and develop hard drives with storage capacity 10,000 times that of those currently available. Viewer response, augmented by market research, will determine if this show, or one of its competitors, gets a 10-week gig starting next fall. The winner will provide a viewing alternative to the presidential horserace, which will by then be in full gallop. A no-brainer, no matter which show prevails.

[meteorite-list] EL6/7 meteorite loaded on eBay for one cent. 4.779 kilograms.
Well, it took a while, since I got caught up doing too many other things today. http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ170066829936 Here is the EL6/7 meteorite I promised to load on ebay. It is smaller than I thought (it had been in a box since the Munich show) so I forgot how much it weighed. Either way, it is 283 times the size of Matteo's piece, and 680 times CHEAPER! And it is correctly identified, no guesswork, no lopping an end off and classifiying it myself like Matteo does. So let the fun, and BIDDING begin. Go to www.meteoritestudies.com for a more in-depth update on the classification saga of these fossil meteorites from Algeria.

[meteorite-list] Tucson, butr the wrong month
HI all - My trip to San Diego to the American Institute of Archaeology convention via Barringer was re-routed by that snow that fell in Denver. Albuquerque and Amaillo are snowed in. All is not lost - I visited Odessa this morning, and hope to head through Tucson tomorrow afternnoon. I have a trunkload of my book "Man and Impact in the Americas" with me. This motel in Las Cruces has an internet termional (one with a hidden screen which my eyes can't see - not big enough to see with my distace lenses, but too far to read without them.)

[meteorite-list] Steve & Geoff on PBS Tomorrow
Dear Listees: New Year's greetings to you all from sunny Tucson, AZ. It *is* still sunny, but unusually cool for Tucson. We had snow on the mountains for two days and just yesterday I saw a person wearing a scarf! Can you imagine : ) First off, Steve Arnold #1 and I would like to thank all of you who tuned in to see us on "Cash & Treasures" on the Travel Channel. Our episode will repeat eight more times during the next month or so. I believe it airs twice during the Gem Show, so our overseas friends who will be here will have a chance to see it (Do I hear "Party in Chladni's Heirs hotel room"?). We're very excited to announce that our new show, "Wired Science" will debut here in the U.S. tomorrow night at 8 pm Eastern. It appears to be airing on all PBS affiliates, so you should be able to pick it up anywhere in the U.S., and hopefully Canada too. PBS really knows how to run a website. If you go to this page: http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/local-listings.html . . . and key in your zip code, it will immediately produce all your local broadcast times. In some areas, the show will premiere on Thursday, Jan. 4 (out here for example), not tomorrow, so do please check your local listings. "Wired Science" is a one-hour pilot for a new science series. It is a joint venture between the famous technology magazine, "Wired," and KCET (PBS). The show is made up of seven separate segments, of which ours is the first, so don't tune in late! Steve and I have already seen the show, and are very pleased with it. During the program, we visit with the Brenham Meteorite Company's 1,430-lb pallasite at the Exploration Center in Wichita, Kansas, and then head on to the Brenham strewnfield where we put The Meteorite Trolley thorough its paces and excavate . . . well, I don't want to give it all away. Also featured in the show is our good friend Teresa Moss, Director of the Monnig Meteorite Gallery, who takes viewers on a tour of the museum, and demonstrates what pallasites look like on the inside. I've put together a behind-the-scenes special about "Wired Science" on my website, with lots of "making-of" photos: http://www.aerolite.org/wired-science.htm Steve and I hope you enjoy the program, and we're looking forward to seeing many of you out here . . . just next month.

Re: [meteorite-list] Matteo`s Aubrite is icedance awake???
Is that ~8 kilo piece for one penny on EBay yet? From: Michael Farmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: M come Meteorite Meteorites <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Matteo`s Aubrite is icedance awake??? Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 07:19:54 -0800 (PST) 1. Actually the paleometeorite is not magnetic, it is so old, thus the name "Fossil meteorite" that there is no metal left to cause it to be magnetic. 2. So you do not care that it is not a Aubrite, you just whine that the prices are low. Funny (after you cried about the high prices of Park Forest and said that it was only worth $7.00 per gram, the same Park Forest meteorite that you now push on eBay for $48.00 per gram) that you would bring up high prices. 3. Matteo, you are the one who started this yesterday, by making a comment about my HIGH PRICED Seymchan, funny, if I sell for low prices and break the market, then why cry about my high priced Seymchan? It seems to be contradictory to me. Does anyone see irony in that? 4. I am opening my mouth because you are lying about the "Aubrite" on ebay. It is not an Aubrite, you have no paperwork even suggesting that, it is clearly the E3 that have been flooding the market for 8 months, I have personally seen over 400 kilos of it in Morocco/Ensisheim/Saint Marie aux Mines/Denver/Munich (all important meteorite shows which you fail to attend), and I will not sit there and watch people get taken in by that lie! You seem to have classified it yourself by saying that since it is yellow, and not magnetic, it must be a Aubrite! You had people bidding over $600 for a piece which I would sell for $20-$50.00. That in and of itself is not a problem if the peice was correctly identified, but it is not, so that is a scam.

Re: [meteorite-list] Matteo`s Aubrite is icedance awake???
1. Actually the paleometeorite is not magnetic, it is so old, thus the name "Fossil meteorite" that there is no metal left to cause it to be magnetic. 2. So you do not care that it is not a Aubrite, you just whine that the prices are low. Funny (after you cried about the high prices of Park Forest and said that it was only worth $7.00 per gram, the same Park Forest meteorite that you now push on eBay for $48.00 per gram) that you would bring up high prices. 3. Matteo, you are the one who started this yesterday, by making a comment about my HIGH PRICED Seymchan, funny, if I sell for low prices and break the market, then why cry about my high priced Seymchan? It seems to be contradictory to me. Does anyone see irony in that? 4. I am opening my mouth because you are lying about the "Aubrite" on ebay. It is not an Aubrite, you have no paperwork even suggesting that, it is clearly the E3 that have been flooding the market for 8 months, I have personally seen over 400 kilos of it in Morocco/Ensisheim/Saint Marie aux Mines/Denver/Munich (all important meteorite shows which you fail to attend), and I will not sit there and watch people get taken in by that lie! You seem to have classified it yourself by saying that since it is yellow, and not magnetic, it must be a Aubrite! You had people bidding over $600 for a piece which I would sell for $20-$50.00. That in and of itself is not a problem if the peice was correctly identified, but it is not, so that is a scam. Michael Farmer I do not plan to fight on this list, but will if prodded, and I will not "shut my mouth" and let an obvious scam like this pass by without comment! I hope every other member of this community would do the same for me. --- M come Meteorite Meteorites <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > - Original Message - > Da : Michael Farmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > THIS IS NOT an AUBRITE!

[meteorite-list] Thank you Matteo
Hello all, Thank you Matteo. Yesterday morning early when I first checked the eBay listings, I saw an Aubrite listed. After Planetaries and Texas specimens, Aubrites are my favorite, so I placed a bid. A bit later in the day, reviewing my finances and bills (income, property and school taxes) due in January, I realized that I was in trouble ... way too many bills and definitely too little money. I then asked Matteo to please cancel my bid. He courteously agreed and has done so. I truly appreciate it. Over the last 5 years (2002-2006) I've purchased over 100 different specimens from him with no problems and look forward to purchasing more as I can. Again, thank you Matteo. I appreciate your consideration. Don Edwards Houston, TX __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
