-- All-New Episodes to Air Beginning Wednesday, January 20, 2010, at 9 PM (ET/PT) --
(Silver Spring, Md.) Science Channel has commissioned renowned production company LMNO Cable Group for six all-new episodes of the network's hit special METEORITE MEN. As production continues, the series will chronicle modern day treasure hunters Geoff Notkin and Steve Arnold as they traverse North America in search of rare, lost pieces of our universe. METEORITE MEN is scheduled to debut Wednesday, January 20, 2010, at 9 PM (ET/PT).
Notkin and Arnold have searched the world for remnants of meteorites for years. The duo uses inventive, cutting-edge technologies to detect these treasures from space as each are often buried over centuries by substantial amounts of dirt and sediment. Last May, in a pilot episode of METEORITE MEN, Science Channel brought viewers to the farmlands of Brenham, Kansas as Notkin and Arnold searched for pieces of a large meteorite that fell to earth thousands of years ago. Brenham is considered a hot bed for meteorites more have fallen in that area per square mile than anywhere else in the United States. Viewers got a firsthand look at the unique science of meteorite hunting when the team uncovered several large meteorite pieces using large metal detectors fashioned to ATVs and trucks.
"METEORITE MEN uniquely combines adventure with science," said Debbie Myers, Science Channel general manager. "Steve and Geoff are helping us learn more about the universe by bridging the gap between the earth sciences and their passion for finding and studying meteorites."

Space junkies ping.
I have seen this show. Pretty interesting.
The title sounds like a 40’s or 30’s movie serial.
Flash Gordon without the flash.
Finding space rocks could be a nice payday. One of my favorite things is tramping the hills for rocks. There is a nice site up the road a bit for agate nodules weathered out of the rhyolite. Going along for the ride with these guys would be fun.
For a change of pace, try rocking the hills with tramps.
That would require switching the Viagra for Methamphetamine. I’m already psychotic enough as it is...and Boxcar Willie ain’t really my type...
