Best place to find meteorites?

Antarctica Deep impact- Space mission a few years ago to go and hit the core of a meteorite. Protecting against impacts- if you had 100 years- paint ball the comet. A fraction of a millimeter per second is enough to deflect it past the earth. If you had 3 years, inflate a huge balloon that is pushed with a rocket thereby moving the comet gently. If you had 6 months- try a nuclear bomb. Chapter 7- Searching for life in our solar system Heavy elements were created by nuclear reactions In stars. Stellar systems condense-> planetesimals are made of the elements of life. Prebiotic organic molecules could come form chemical reactions in atmosphere. Chemical reactions near deep sea vents in oceans First requirement a source of elements and molecules from which to build living cells Energy- Second requirement: an energy source to fuel metabolism Life would need more efficient metabolism or other energy sources on distant worlds Chemical energy need some medium to mix gases or a liquid to mix materials Summary of environmental requirements: A source of elements and molecules from which to build living cells A source of energy for metabolism A liquid medium from transporting molecules of life (does not have to be on the surface!.)
