Summary
Steve Arnold and Geoffrey Notkin are the Meteorite Men. They both visit areas around the world where meteorites have impacted with the Earth's surface. Steve is primarily a businessman, while Geoff is a passionate collector and science writer. Some of the specimens found on the show are sold to collectors, and some are donated to university collections. Professors and scientists at prominent universities including UCLA; ASU, Tempe; UA, Edmonton; and other institutions, such as NASA's Johnson Space Center, are featured. Meteorite Men has won two bronze Telly Awards. The show has also spawned a modern-day "gold rush" as thousands of amateur meteorite hunters now scour the globe each year in search of meteorites that can be resold.
