[meteorite-list] Cosmic CollisionsTV update?

[Michael Gilmer]

Hi Geoff Notkin and List!


Is there any update on what happened to the 3-part TV series
"Cosmic Collisions" ?  Discovery Channel aired one part, but then
nothing else -  unless I went into a coma and missed it.  I really
wanted to see the episode that focuses on meteorites.  Does anyone
know if it was aired or not?  And is there anywhere I can purchase
it on DVD?

Thanks and clear skies!

MikeG
