We should start by purchasing the land and mineral rights to a Meteor that is large enough to have impacted the Earth and to have stayed intact. There is one...

Klinton, If that island you are talking about in Valdez Inlet indeed is a meteorite, then I'm sure that would have been already surfaced in geologic and other...

Ask Debi, About it. She is the Astro Physicist that accompanied me on the initial investigation. Scientists have been searching for it for a while. It...

Hi all, Here's another draft chapter of our "Benchmark 2": Pulling together where we stand with regard to PROCESSORS. These are the operations for transforming...
Hi all, Here's another draft chapter of our "Benchmark 2": Pulling together where we stand with regard to LEO STATION. Please send in feedbacks so I can be...
Hi,, Have you considered two modules, separated. One to be the garage at zero-G, the other a "living module" at .7G (or whatever proves necessary). Would...
Yes Dennis, we had thought about it, and it might even get to that. Actually, one option has been to basically have two modules just a few feet apart, and a...
Yes we have. There are two differences between your suggestion and what we are suggesting is how close the two are. They must orbit each other if they are not...
Hi Ueli, I think the draft benchmark covers well the essentials for a repair station for orbital craft, particularly, small shuttles, tug, and robotics, as...
Thanks Jan, Yes you are right: What we have here for the benchmark we may have to regard as "Station Alpha", ie. the first outpost. I am not yet really decided...
We can make a large profit with Alpha. Talking about the L4 or L5 is way beyond what we should be bothered with until we can show a clear path to prove high...
from James Wilson spacetrader.net Not a word, but I calculated its value from very rough dimensions, to be $37 trillion at scrap iron price. That would have...

In your calcs did you assume the whole thing is metal. probably should assume more like 10%. did i hear right that the $300 per taxpayer rebate Bush has...
The location that Klint identified on wikimapia does indeed look like a meteor impact with the center impact area as is commonly seen in space impacts. But...
Just a point on the market forces relating to a (theoretical) multi- trillion asteroid lode. Assuming that the technology and infrastructure allows an...
Right Jan! The only stuff I can think of worth dropping down into the bottom of the gravity well of Earth are bars of Platinum Group Metals PGM, and maybe some...
If it is a metal asteroid then it should deflect a compass very much. If it is a stony then it is now where as valuable. If it is not either then it would have...
What do you mean Jim, when you say "if it is not either then it would have disintegrated"? I'm thinking about chondrites (apparently the most frequent...
Most of the ones that disentigrate in the atomosphere like Tanguska are and do not make it intack to the ground. They tent to hold together until they...
Here is a little history on this topic. Last summer Klint and I took Ron Henry (who sighted a fireball entering the bay circa 2000/2001 in the middle of the...
To re-iterate, yes the fireball was observed intact to the surface and was very large, its nature and where it impacted is largely still a mystery. ... -- ...
Debi-Lee and Jim, Okay, so there may be leftovers of a meteor under Valdez bay that did not disintegrate while coming down through the atmosphere. So in case...
from James Wilson spacetrader.net I've got a 14&1/2 lb canyon diablo meteorite from the plains around meteor crater in northern Arizona. its got microscopic...

A slow streak means it is incredibly high or not a meter. One large enough to be an island would create a wake enough to be felt clear to Japan, burn out trees...
Yes I have said many times that studying grounded asteroids can be helpful, but of limited use for us. We must send probes. We need to know not just the...
Ueli, We've been over and over the difference between meteorites and asteroids. I think Klint's emphasis is that we can make a name and/or credibility and ...
James, We do/did have a way to analyze them. Dmitri Terekov of CVMR in Toronto was analyzing a much smaller meteorite for me. I think the results were mainly...
