> Dear Listees:

>

> As a few of you already know Steve Arnold #1 and I have been working  on a 

> major new TV project for over a year. It is a one-hour special  for the 

> Science Channel: "Meteorite Men."

>

> This is a significant step up from the previous TV work we've done. It  is 

> a big budget production with plenty of action, adventure and, of  course, 

> a little goofing around. I was recently in Burbank, CA to see  the final 

> cut of the show and we are thrilled with the results. Steve  and I 

> returned to the Brenham site for location filming, and also  filmed at a 

> second location which will remain confidential for the  moment. In 

> addition we shot a good segment at The Center for Meteorite  Studies at 

> ASU, Tempe with the kind assistance of Dr. Meenakshi Wadhwa  and Dr. 

> Laurence Garvie, both of whom appear in the special, as well  as the 

> famous IBeAM. There is also plenty of cool, hi-tech animation  of the 

> Asteroid Belt, a re-creation of a meteorite shower, etc.

>

> Science put out the official press release yesterday morning and you  can 

> read it here:

> The world premiere of "Meteorite Men" is Sunday, May 10 at 9 pm  Eastern, 

> only on the Science Channel.

> It's been a long project, but a very rewarding one. Our production 

> company has been fantastic to work with. They really went above and 

> beyond the make the best adventure documentary possible, and we hope  List 

> members in the US and Canada will enjoy the show. We do not have 

> international air dates yet, but hopefully "Meteorite Men" will be  seen 

> in other countries before too long. I will post further news when  we have 

> it.
