Re: [meteorite-list] Who invented the phrase 'the poor man's space probe'?
Dear list members, I'm happy to let you know that in a personal email to me Prof. Anders confirmed having been the one who invented this metaphor for a speech at an AAAS meeting in NYC in early 1960. Furthermore he wrote this referring to the German meteorite forum. I am delighted by the great interest in meteorites manifested by your forum! That was unimaginable in 1960! Well, Prof. Anders, we are delighted as well that you shared this information with us. And we sincerely thank you very much for all you have done to make meteoritics progress. If you wish, please share your extensive knowledge anytime you wish here on the meteorite-list or in the German meteorite forum. All our best wishes to you Martin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: karmaka karm...@email.de Gesendet: 28.07.2011 23:21:47 An: karmaka karm...@email.de Betreff: Re: [meteorite-list] Who invented the phrase 'the poor man's space probe'?

... nothing but a 'poor man's space probe' launched unceremoniously somewhere in the asteroidal belt sometime during the last two billion years [sic.] ... 1960 - Dr. Edward Anders Univ. of Chicago ... unless Nininger said something similar earlier!
