Hi Listees,

I was just watching The Science Channel and there was a commercial by NASA
stating they have just tested a Ground Penetrating Radar on a farm, found a
154 pound meteorite and that the technology will be used in future Mars
missions. Towards the end, there is a picture of a farmer holding a pitch
fort with a disgruntled look on his face. The narrator then goes on and
says, "...and the farmer would like Mars to quit throwing its space junk in
his field."

This commercial is referring to when NASA tested this equipment on the farm
that team Arnold/Mani have been finding Brenham meteorites on. Pretty cool
commercial even though it was a stunt farmer they used :-)

Best regards,
Greg
