Also the magnet was probably coated with double stick tape since he said it
sticks to magnets in some parts. I think that is Red-Neck for in that one
specific place where the tape is.
I like the artwork explanation for the claim about being Martian.

Great story, Sonny. Thanks for sharing it.

Sonny: You may not realize how very lucky you probably were. Most of the

are there because they are the low points of a basin, and very quickly
collect all the runoff water from the surrounding areas.

You know, the meteorite museum idea is a phenomenally wonderful
philanthropic gesture and contribution to the meteorite community. I've
spoken with Greg at length about it, and he's very excited. He's also a
realist. He knows it could fail easily, but he's willing to take the
risk. I've heard
Hi All,
I need to replace the 8 diamond saw blade on my Lortone trim saw.
Unfortunately, it appears that the blade I was using (MK 1000 Saber
model 3-0094) is no longer manufactured, so I need to find a good
replacement. Does anyone have any recommendations for a thin 8
blade suitable for cutting
Wow! Wow! WOW! It really is a cosmic soup out there. It's so fluid,

Double meteorite strike 'caused dinosaur extinction'
By Howard Falcon-Lang
BBC News
August 27, 2010
The dinosaurs were wiped out 65 million years ago by at least two
meteorite impacts, rather than a single strike, a new study suggests.
Hey Greg, Hope you have a lot of knowledgable help in the museum. Family help
would be better only because it would be cheaper but you still need people that
know meteorites. Potential for burn out is very high for something like this if
you do everything yourself. Good luck and take care!!
Hi Rob,
I use Dialaser blades by Lapcraft. I've had very good luck with them.
Very thin and they hold up well. Lapcraft also makes some other
sintered blades that I've been meaning to try out, but haven't had a
chance yet.

Unless of course one destroys our planet first...
The largest NEO is 1036 Ganymed. The Largest
Near-Earth Object is 32 km in diameter. The second
largest is 433 Eros (visited by NEAR); it's 33 km by
13 km.
Even the 20 mile Ganymed wouldn't destroy the
planet. Just a little dent
Wouldn't destroy the Earth either. It would change
the Earth a lot. The interesting question is: what

Meteorites would replace us. ;)

Interesting Sterling... As always. I always love reading your posts.
Perhaps I should have said destroy life instead.
An impact on the scale you pointed out would be an extinction event
which humans may or may not have the technology to survive.
Perhaps we should start building underground

Can someone tell me if the Mars meteorites (not Martian meteorites on

Hi Eric,
Good luck with your effort.
One question comes to mind. Will there be insurance for both the permanent
collection, as well as loaned, or visiting collections?
Loss due to theft could be a major concern, it only has to happen once.

PS My business was burglarized
Hi, yes I am having full insurance, 1 million to be specific at a rate of
$1,100 per year.
Any samples in the museum will be covered under it as well as people inside.
There will be security system and also recording equipment.
