[meteorite-list] Mars Odyssey THEMIS Images: ET?

[James Balister]

I forgot to mention----Someone thought that 19 bucks was too high for a fiction book.  They sell for 25 bucks on average.  And we all know what meteorite books run!  I bought a book last year that ran me 100 bucks!  So I think 19 is not too bad for a book!
