Subject: RE: BS: Bobert, meteorite query
I think some of you don't realize how WONDERFUL it is to have a meteorite come right into your place, especially if it doesn't hit anybody. Some people spend years looking for something like this.

This is a 4.5 billion year-old chunk from outer space. It's also worth money.

I can't believe those media people are too dumb to say what kind it is. Well, no, actually I can believe it.

But I want to know what kind it is. Stony iron, pallasite, chondrite? This is important!

And if I were the doc, I wouldn't give all of it to the Smithsonian. I would keep a piece for my rock collection.

We have yet to hear of Bobert's role in all this. He must be working on the hotel.
