Although tales of people being killed by meteorite impacts date back to biblical times. But few deaths, if any, have been documented. Turkish researchers uncovered the earliest evidence that a meteorite killed one man and paralyzed another when it slammed into a hilltop in what is now Iraq in August 1888. Documents chronicling the event were found in Turkish state archives, where it was documented that the killer meteorite was one of several that fell during a 10-minute interval. (1)

Death from above.

Life from below.

Humans walking.

Longing for the stars.

Can’t you see?

It is not because they admire life.

(Can you fill your hands with dirt?)

But because they crave death…

(Coward!)
