Really, though, not so much. Most contain hardly any carbon in a form that makes it hardenable, and it (meteoritic iron) is generally not hardenable. But if you melt it in a crucible with the right other stuff, you can get decent steel.
Only thing that matters is that it comes from space and can be made into a good straight.Quote:
