Hello everyone,

Isn't 'science' just that, "Science"... Ever evolving as ground truth
comes in? Without open minds and hard work by many dedicated
individuals, 'science' would not get very far, especially in the world
of meteortitics! Much of the initial work and/or thoughts are educated
suggestions which are meant to excite others in rational and sometimes
heated discussions, no matter what scientific focus is being
discussed. I won't even bring up the evolution talks of the past...

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe
