Radar Used to Find Meteorite Buried in Kansas Field
GREENSBURG, Kan. — Scientists were excited when they pulled a 154-pound meteorite from deep below a Kansas wheat field, but what got them most electrified was the way they unearthed it.
The team Monday uncovered the find 4 feet under a meteorite-strewn field using new ground-penetrating radar technology that someday might be used on Mars.


For any of you who have experience driving through the Kansas Tollway, you’ll understand why these scientists chose Kansas as a test site comparable to Mars. It may be green versus red; but the view of a horizon of nothingness appears to be the same in either place. Just throw a few cows scattered here and there on Mars, and voila, Kansas.

I’ve never quite been able to understand when people talk in fear about over-population and how can we sustain all these people. Just this morning, at 6:46 CST as I understand it, the population of the U.S. exceeded 300 million people. Going by some of our recent vacation trips driving down to Texas, then coming back up through West Texas into New Mexico and Colorado, Nebraska and South Dakota, I think we should be able to accommodate another couple hundred million people. If Israel can turn a desert into a land of milk and honey in about 20 years, we should be able to at least turn those areas of the U.S. into a land flowing with Dos Equis and salsa.
