Re: [meteorite-list] BLACK FRIDAY POP QUIZ Answer
Hi Mark and all, The subject is cost of lunar specimens and were going off topic by trying to discuss NASA spin offs but I'll reluctantly discuss it. First, show me where in my post I said that NASA invented the computer,velcro (thanks for the spelling) and freeze dried food. They simply took ideas and made them better for space flight which were then used by same companies or borrowed by other companies and why we have those products today. Computers components were made smaller and downsized, better velcro was figured out and used, and I don't know really know about freezed dried food but did the Incas and Victorian England make vacuums to pull the moisture out without further cooking the food? I doubt it. They probably dehydrated foods instead. One can do a search of the NASA spinoffs during the Apollo era and see there were many and those innovations were a benefit to people, simple. So my statement that the cost of lunar material can't be totally figured to the total cost of the Apollo Program is correct and I believe on target. It would be difficult to really figure out the true cost yet. Having been involved in reporting and space flight launch photography during part of that era, and having seen the many NASA provided pamphlets addressing space spin offs from Apollo, you can argue that it wasn't that big of a improvement or deal but I'll always disagree. That's it for this subject. --AL Mitterling Mitterling Meteorites Quoting Mark Ford : the NASA spin offs that many of us enjoy today including computers, velcrov, freeze dried foods and the list goes on in many ways I can't list have to also be taken into consideration. Except that Computers, Velcro and Freeze dried foods where NOT invented by Nasa for the space program! - The hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro) was invented in 1941 by Swiss engineer, George de Mestral from Commugny, Switzerland - Computers where invented in the 1940's and already in widespread in academia BEFORE the Apollo era. - Freeze dried foods where used by the Inca's, and in Victorian England. The often misquoted Lunar program spin offs where not nearly as widespread as is often touted, granted there were many advances, but using the few spin off's as sole justification for multibillion dollar space programs is maybe stretching it..

Re: [meteorite-list] BLACK FRIDAY POP QUIZ Answer
Hi Richard, that was also my answer :-) But if I imagine, that Calcalong Creek could have been a trigger for the legislation in Australia, which catapulted a whole continent and meteorite nation N°2 into a meteoritic nirvana, then the price for Calcalong was indeed high. Though as it is an inanimate stone, we can't blame Calcalong for that, but human brutishness. Regarding the acquisition costs, the next expensive meteorites of all times, must be those recovered by EUROMET, an cooperation by European universities with the goal to recover new meteorites, seen the budget used and the number and weights of their finds. Followed by the Antarctic campaigns. Science costs. With a large distance - on the lower end are those meteorites found by commercially oriented people and private collectors. And bottom are those, disappropriated from the finders - they were available for giving up human decency and integrity. Something, which seemed to be at least for a few a very low price. Hence Calcalong had 19grams, so it would have cost like a top diamond. Not that tragic, for the first lunar meteorite at its times. Meanwhile, due to private activities, we arrived now partially at prices for lunars below 200$ per carat. I hope, those reading that list and still planning to introduce a ban of all private activities and especially those entertainers, still blaming in media the private sector to be so harmful to their science, will put that one day in their pipes and smoke it. " And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything."

Re: [meteorite-list] BLACK FRIDAY POP QUIZ Answer
Good afternoon Folks, About 10 years ago I bought a small specimen of Calcalong Creek from Rob Eliot. I sold about a dozen .0005 to .002 gram specimens of this meteorite on eBay for $400.00 each. As available lunar material was tougher to come by back then, and given the rarity of Calcalong Creek, none of my Buy-It-Now listings on eBay lasted any more than a few hours. Conservatively, the sales price of those specimens ranged from $200,000/g to about $800,000/g. I decided to add a new, small specimen of Calcalong Creek to my collection just a couple of months ago and I paid approximately $250,000/g for that specimen---and felt darned lucky to get it at all.
