Hi Martin -

The strange part in all of this is the disconnect between the space programs and meteorite studies. For example, hundreds of millions will be spent on Mars sample return, even several millions of dollars per year just for studies, while Mars samples already here remain in the field.

In regards to how this applies to dealing with the Earth impact hazard, well you already know my thinking.
