Hello List,

   I have a question relating to the posts concerning
the possible "Martian meteoroid stream". Would
fragments of the original impacting asteroid ALSO be
mixed in with this stream of Martian material? Or does
the dynamics of such an impact dictate that ONLY
material from the larger body can be accelerated to
escape velocity, while the impacting object is either
"completely" vaporized, or scattered across the face
of the larger body?

   Sincerely,

   Robert Woolard
