> Hi list, I have been into model rockets for a very long time. I did a lot

> meteorites! I am building a rocket and rover that will be launched from my
> back yard this weekend. I am sending my modified RC-10 remote controlled
> truck as the rover, it has an arm with a magnet attached that will collect
> the meteorites and a sample return capsule that can return 1 kilo of
> meteorites and land in a predetermined and secret landing spot a few miles
> from my home. With the help of Tim the tool man Taylor who modified my
> rocket and rover for performance, this entire trip will take only a week.

> receive, except that it will be a meteorite from the surface of mars.
Also,

total

risk

think

> mind that there is a possibility the mission will not go as planned and
> there are no refunds, remember there is always a risk in space travel!
> Also, with only 1k available, it will be first to pay, first served! You
do
> not have time to think, just go to paypal and pay me now, you can always
