I'm waiting to see the program Meteorite watch lol! Kind of like Baywatch but set in the dessert. Hot sun, sand and sweaty bikini clad searchers. who wouldn't watch? and for the ladies strapping young guys with 6pack Ab's. throw in spiders, snakes, scorpions . dehydration ,stuck vehicles, terrorists, inadvertent border crossings into Iran, and restrictive regulations of some country's. add minerals and other artifacts for the Indiana Jones types. might work lol.

cheers
Steve
