AAAS meeting in NYC in early 1960. Furthermore he wrote this referring to the German meteorite forum. ???? "I am delighted by the great interest in meteorites manifested by your ?????? forum! That was unimaginable in 1960!" Well, Prof. Anders, we are delighted as well that you shared this information with us. And we sincerely thank you very much for all you have done to make meteoritics progress. If you wish, please share your extensive knowledge anytime you wish here on the meteorite-list or in the German meteorite forum. All our best wishes to you Martin -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: karmaka <karmaka at email.de> Gesendet: 28.07.2011 23:21:47 An: karmaka <karmaka at email.de> Betreff: Re: [meteorite-list] Who invented the phrase 'the poor man's space probe'? >It was used by Dr. Edward Anders (University of Chicago) in the August 1961 edition of >'Popular Mechanics' (p. 111) in the article 'Meteorites.
