I can't understand your dismay over the recovery of this meteorite by Mike Farmer and Hans Koser. Didn't it fall over a year ago? Where were you and all of your countrymen for this long period of time? Waiting for someone to deliver it to you? Sounds like sour grapes to me.
 
You also say that Farmer and Koser have runied your whole reason for going to college? I guess you are just destined to be a Walmart Greeter then. Dude I think you are getting a little to dramatic.
 
I say Congradulations to Hans and Mike for recovering this meteorite when it obviously would not have been recovered with out their efforts. True meteorite hunters in my book,
 
Gary

> Right now I had a mix of feelings. I'm happy to know that the meteorite on my homecountry, Ecuador, is been studied, but at the same time I'm so sad to know that I will not be able to get a piece of it, or to know that maybe some day I'll need to pay for something that fell in my country. According to what I read about this meteorite and what the videos said about it, is that Ecuadorian authorities made a preleminary study of the "rock" in about 10 minutes (!!!), then they try to compare it with a meteorite that fell on Morocco (how many meteorites fell on Morocco??!!!!) that has similar characteristics...HAHAHA...I hate the way how Rony (who calls himself astronaut, instead of cosmonaut), just because people in my country don't know about the topic, lie to people. Yes, it is a meteorite, but no one can said that a meteorite has similar characteristics with another in less than a few hours!!!...Between EXA and the astronomical observatory they were argueing about who must hav
> e this meteorite. But now I know, with great dissapointment, who has it and where it is. In this case, I'm agree with the laws that Argentina has about meteorites. I feel like all my effort to finish college (Aerospace Engineering) and try to share my knowledge with people in my homecountry has been destroyed with people and actions like this!!!
