Hi Mike, I don't know, and actually it's not our cup of tea. Science costs. And cheaper than Antarctica it is most probably anyway. I'm only a layman, but at least I'm sponsoring the Australian network with the taxes on our meteorite sales. (Although I'm not fully convinced yet that Australia is

Hi Martin, I did sound flip towards the effort they are making, and I should be more appreciative that this kind of work is being done. It's not cheap or easy to implement a scientific network to provide meaningful data and finds. I genuinely wish the Australians the best of luck with their

Hi Martin, I would think that a government-funded (or grant-funded, or funds-limited) operation could utilize other official resources for the effort to find meteorites. For example, if Australia does not want to encourage private participation to increase the number of people searching (and
