[meteorite-list] A Great Day!

[Martin Horejsi]

Hello Adam,

Great story! Stardust experiences really put both meteorites and solar
system evolution into perspective. I cannot wait until the results go
public.

Speaking of pens, I received a two of the pens you have pictured, but
also, I got one of commemorative encounter pens during a training in
Salt Lake City a couple years ago. A team of us had to win a
spacecraft design competition in order to even have a shot at a pen.
Here is a pic:

It is a heavy stainless steel and carbon fiber instrument with an
inlay of the comet encounter date and Success at Wild2!

Very few these pens were made, and the added challenge of having to
win a competition just to have a chance at one makes this one of my
most favorite Stardust souviners (after the memories of course).
