The Meteorite Men are coming! Everyone should run, not walk, to their TIVO and set this show for record. After last years surprise smash hit on May 10th 2009, the Meteorite Men have been busy making 6 new episodes for the coming season starting on January 20th on the Science Channel.
The Meteorite Men cable series is about two men (meteorite hunters) Geoff Notkin and Steve Arnold who travel the globe in search of the cosmic treasure that are meteorites. Though we’re not sure of the “secret” meteorite hunting spots that will be in the series, one thing is for certain, it’s sure to out of this world!
Geoff & Steve have been hunting meteorites for over a decade and both are very experienced meteorite hunters. I had the pleasure of meeting Geoff on a couple of occasions and Steve more recently on a meteorite hunt in West Texas. Both are cordial enough people but a very secretive lot to say the least. Most meteorite hunters are and for good reason. The rocks they hunt come from space and many are worth a great deal of money.
The Science Channel has put together in my opinion a great mix of science, technology, and adventure to create the perfect recipe for a hit TV series. According to an email to the Meteorite List from Geoff the pilot episode performed much better than expected and allowed them to continue on to make 6 more episodes of the Meteorite Men. It seems people LOVE meteorites and the adventure of hunting them!
If you haven’t seen the show you owe it to yourself to watch it. Now go schedule for the show on January 20th 2010 and keep looking up!
