Hello list,

I would guess this institute does more than just study meteorites, but does
any one know vaguely where their $20,000,000 a year (and soon $40M) gets
spent?

And I guess while we are on the topic, does anyone know how much a year does
get spent on all the different areas of Meteorite Research? $100,000,000?
$250,000,000? More?
