Hi All,

This is an interesting article about how the US is losing the new space
race:

I can't help but think that all the Chinese, Indiana, Japanese, Taiwanese,
South Korean, Israeli, Brazilian and European kids are going to experience
over the next few decades some of what the US kids experienced 40 years ago.
Even this time around, more Russians will have TV sets to enjoy this as well.

All this should have an interesting impact on the meteorite hobby as
interest peaks in space related topics and the number of world-wide meteorite
collectors grows proportionately.

I think it is going to be interesting to see how this all unfolds.
 
Maybe Michael Blood can expand on this topic in one of the upcoming
Meteorite Trends some more?
 
Godspeed!
