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
