Hola Rob,
You're right about the terminal velocity of a chondrite, in the shape of a bowling ball being much faster than a conventional bowling ball. This might still be a little counter intuitive, but, here are some 9 inch diameter bowling ball terminal velocities (there's a lot of algebra behin

Hi All,
On the subject of meteorite economics, I have a couple comments --
actually, more ~reminders~, since this ground has been covered many
times before. I'm going to use Adam's recent e-mail as a talking
point since it mentions the key issues that come up again and again
on meteorites and pri

we will be more precise,and cooler heads will prevail.

question since you were compelled to ask it on the List in the middle of a
so-called firestorm.

Hi
Doug,
Good
point on the density of a bowling ball. Intuitively, I would have
guessed
the
density was around 2 g/cm^3, when in fact it is barely above 1 g/cm^3
--
about
1.15 for a 16-lb ball (the mass I was assuming).
An ordinary chondrite
of
the same size would weigh close to 50 l
Another way to make this more "intuitive" is to imagine sticking a bowling ball out the window of a car traveling 155 mph. Do you think that 14 pounds of air resistance would be on it? Imagine at over 300 mph (the 140 m/s you mentioned).
Saludos
Doug
