>Mr. DeRusse, what is the deal, let's get it out in the open right now.
>You seem to think that the entire world is conspiring against you to deny

>Why?
>For a conspiracy, the people (scientists) must gain something from it.
>No one seems to gain anything from conspiring against you.
>Why do you keep this up? You stones are not meteorites, SIMPLE.
>Now please leave the meteorite world alone and find another list to debate

>Get a life.

>>We think your implying that we fabricated any email from Dirk Ross is
>>preposterous and absurd. We have no reason to fabricate analytical data,
>>emails or anything from anyone for that matter. I suppose you think we
>>fabricated the email below from Dr. Oliver Manuel to Bill Cutler in which
>>he agrees with us and welcomes some measure of controls on rogue
>>scientists? Is that what you think? We realized the level of absurdity
>>from you and many others when you endlessly debated whether a meteorite
>>fall is hot to the touch back in 2002. You guys endlessly debated this
>>issue and some trained scientists even weighed in on the issue but only
>>served to cloud it. Since ya'll never settled it let me tell you the heat
>>generated by a meteorite fall is proportional to the metal content. That
>>is to say the higher the metal content the hotter to the touch.....duh.
>>That means that stony meteorites will only be warm to the touch whereas
>>iron-nickel meteorites will be hot. Good luck and stop being so absurd and
>>preposterous.

>>From Dr. Oliver Manuel;

>>Thanks, Bill, for the message.
>>
>>I wish NASA's new policy might correct the problem.
>>Science rests on one of the oldest spiritual truths, e.g. from the
>>Upanishads, "Truth is victorious, never untruth."
>>It appears NASA officials mistakenly believed for decades that good
>>PR (public relations) is more important than truth.
>>NASA held the purse strings and misconduct from NASA spread into
>>peripheral organizations.
>>
>>For example, how much NASA money, how many pages of MAPS and GCA, and
>>how many hours of Lunar Science Conference time has been devoted to
>>questionable but flashy discoveries like AN ALPHABET OF NEONS (Ne-A,
>>Ne-B, Ne-C, Ne-D, Ne-E, etc.), SUPER-HEAVY ELEMENTS, INTERSTELLAR
>>DIAMONDS, STAR DUST, etc. while more mundane explanations (MASS
>>FRACTIONATION, LOCAL ELEMENT SYNTHESIS, etc.) were ignored and/or
>>excluded from publication?
>>
>>What is the result?
>>
>>1. NASA - the world's premier space agency - failed to appreciate
>>that samples from the Apollo mission clearly revealed severe mass
>>separation in the Sun. There is little doubt about this conclusion.
>>See "Composition of the Solar Interior: Information from Isotope
>>Ratios"

>>
>>2. NASA - the world's premier space agency - failed to appreciate
>>that the Galileo probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter confirmed that
>>material there is unlike that in the Sun. See Ken Windler's report
>>on "strange" xenon isotopes in Jupiter.
>>
>> http://www.umr.edu/~om/abstracts2001/windleranalysis.pdf
>>
>>In 1983 we noted that the Galileo mission to Jupiter would find
>>"strange" xenon there, if we were correct in concluding that the Sun
>>is iron-rich from the Apollo mission to the Moon ["Solar abundance of
>>the elements", Meteoritics 18, 209-222].
>>
>>NASA's engineering has been great, but its science has been a dismal
>>failure. Unfortunately, scientific journals share some of the blame.
