Dave remember when you are naming the asteroid It's Carl with a C and not a K. WOW The only man in history to discover two asteroid's from this country what an achievement. History making stuff people.

Well done Mate.

Carl.

So that's a 50% share of two asteroids you own now Carl. Nice!
In these recessionary times, how much are you willing to sell them for?
