[meteorite-list] Re: Mercury splattered Earth / little bit of a Deep Impact article

Hola Darren,
Looks like someone at Space Daily didn't realize it is Space Weekly when 
dealing with the unionized press corps.  It says it was an error and implies 
anyone promulgating it not a nice person, until the sindicated embargo Tuesday 
night is lifted.  I guess we are only bottom feeders in the knowledge chain:)

Thanks to you, now I'll be blue in the face waiting to see if this is hot air 
or cold fusion:

Mercury's Formation Impact Splattered Earth With Material 
Leicester, UK (SPX) Mar 31, 2006 - New computer simulations of Mercury's 
formation show the fate of material blasted out into space when a large 
proto-planet collided with a giant asteroid 4.5 billion years ago.

ith_Material.html

which was another boo-boo by Space Daily that self destructed in the 
cache...until de-embargoed at the same time...

Saludos, Doug
