Hi Mike,

Your probably did a lot toward good PR between scientists and meteorite =
dealers and collectors. Very nice. I am curious, what was the reaction =
of the scientists and others upon viewing and holding NWA 998.

When I show a piece of Zagami to others, the usual first question is, =
"why isn't it red?"

  Hi everyone, I attended a special party at the LPL at the University =
of Arizona tonight. We were linked up live with JPL and watched the =
entire landing sequence live. It was great. I am still in awe that =
people can send a machine 100 million miles away, send it at 12,000 =
miles per hour burning like a meteor, and land it safely.=20
  It is on one side, so the rover is not upright like Spirit was, so it =
will take a little longer to get the petals open, but not a problem.
      People could learn alot from NASA, and I hate to listen to whiners =
until they can show proof that it can be done better than NASA has done. =

  WAY TO GO JPL, NASA, and all who are working on these landers.=20
  Another great day for the USA space program.=20

  OH yeah, Dr David Kring showed NWA 998 to all the people, nice to look =
at a piece of Mars while a machine was burning through it's atmosphere. =
Gave me chills.
