[meteorite-list] Its official! NWA 6291 "The King of Angrites" for sale -...

[Greg Hupe]

Hello everyone,

Isn't 'science' just that, "Science"... Ever evolving as ground truth  
comes in? Without open minds and hard work by many dedicated  
individuals, 'science' would not get very far, especially in the world  
of meteortitics! Much of the initial work and/or thoughts are educated  
suggestions which are meant to excite others in rational and sometimes  
heated discussions, no matter what scientific focus is being  
discussed. I won't even bring up the evolution talks of the past...

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe
