I liked the idea behind the story more than the story itself. It made me think if we would react like this for real. But I thought the main character was way too obsessive about an hunk of metal in space. Then again. Maybe that's how normal scientists would really to such big news.

But in the end I was more amused by the fact that this story was edited by someone with a Dutch last name. Except it changed. In the Netherlands it would've been Ann van der Meer (Ann of the Lake) instead of Vandermeer.

So yeah. Not really a winner this one. ( )
