[meteorite-list] Mars event - 2003 old news

[Matson, Robert]

Hi All,

This rehash of what REALLY happened in 2003 has been making the rounds
for several months now.  I figured it was only a matter of time before
it was forwarded here.  (I actually first received it ~3 months ago from
somebody very high up at Boeing, if you can believe it.)

Mars ~was~ spectacular in 2003, but this is not a repeat event.

Cheers,
Rob

Watch for Mars next month. 

The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!

This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an  encounter that 
will culminate in the closest  approach between the two planets in 
recorded  history. The next time Mars may come this close is
in 2287.   <snip>
