Re: [meteorite-list] Progress or ruination?

Sad, I was there on top of that rock a few years ago. San Pedro de Atacama is a fantastic town, a little like the wild west, with dirt streets, no water (all water is trucked in) and dodgy looking people. I had more fun there than can be explained. To have Hollywood types jetting down there to

All, I am a bit conflicted with this too. However, to insist that a group of humans stay in a setting from a couple centuries ago, like keeping apes in a fake looking jungle cage at the zoo, just so we can go an see them undisturbed is a bit morbid. Like others on the list, I too have

Re: [meteorite-list] Progress or ruination?

Hi Steve and Mike, I would be one hell of a pretentious upstart to disagree with someone who has actually been there. My travels in the Atacama are limited to armchair fantasies and future pipe dreams. I do hope to visit there one day in the future, but I'd like it to look like ATACAMA when I

Re: [meteorite-list] Progress or ruination?

Hey MikeG, First off, the Atacama is a very large place. Lot's of meteorites still to be found in desolate areas. I don't think there will be any concern about filling up a fraction of 1% of it, much less all of it. There would be room for several billion inmates if anyone decided to

Hi Steve, You do make some good points that are well worth considering. I am not an enemy of progress, but I do hate to see this progress come at the cost of the surrounding natural environment or the dignity of local cultures. It's a fine line to walk. I do think that all peoples should be
