[meteorite-list] Naked Science/ Nat. Geographic Channel

[Michael Farmer]

If only they told the truth, that the Canadian scientists were so busy 
mapping the sliver of strewnfield and protecting the site, that they 
recovered like 1 1000th of 1 % of the meteorite. Like 4 kilos out of 
suspected 1000 kilos or more! They totally bombed on Tagish Lake in my 
opinion. I also remember how they made a big deal out of "donating" a 10th 
of a frigging gram to the UK for scientific studies. Real generous of them 
after letting so much sink to the bottom of the lake.
