[meteorite-list] Origins continued Lagrange Points...was NWA 5400 Age & Origin Processes

[MEM]

My Bad! I misread the factsheet regarding 3753 Cruithne which isn't a 
Trojan by definition...sigh.  So the Trojans we are looking at visiting are 
those of Jupiter.  


BUT if we were looking for left over shards--very very small ones... I assume 
this is amongst other places is a candidate for where we might find some.

Thanks Richard  it is a real asset to have so many  world class experts on the 
list to 

keep me straight.
