To continue on Sterling's theme about Mars (a little off topic from meteorites): Thanks to Gene Shoemaker, a number of lunar missions, and Apollo, it was clear that the craters on the Moon were impact features and not volcanic. However, for Mars, it was just another Moon-like body! Mariner 4,

Jeff and all: You reminded me of the importance of certain meteorites to the study of asteroids. It was a near infrared spectrum of Orgueil and then Murchison that led to the discovery of water of hydration on C-class asteroids and made a very important connection between the primitive asteroids
