The simple fact that tens of thousands of miles of harsh desert are out there, and virtually no people to pinpoint a close area, so no chance.

  Not being a hard ass and living in Phoenix I understand the logistics involved with the desert...what is it about this particular event, if it did have material that survived to strike the earth, that makes it "really no chance of recovery"?

  What about this event makes it unrecoverable and not worth attempting?

  I am just curious.

  Thanks

    Apparently Sunday night there was a large fireball over Tucson, headed west. I did not see or hear it, but everyone around town asked me about it today, and it was in the news. ASU is working on it, but Haag and I talked about it today and it would be far out in the desert, really no chance of recovery.
