[meteorite-list] Rosetta gravity assist flyby

[mexicodoug]

Hi Darren,

It certainly was an actual screw-up by the IAU.  The joke I meant was by 
Catalina Sky Survey, no matter what they say.  You deserve a medal.  Just 
tell us you didn't look in the back of the book (or leave a Google crumb 
path)!  Clyde Tombaugh is is snickering in his grave at the foolish 
bureaucracy that was arrogant enough to strip a true astronomer of his 
life's crowning achievement to play word footsies...

Best wishes,
Doug.
