The Morava K–theory of BO(q) and MO(q)

We give an easy proof that the Morava $K$ –theories for $B O (q)$ and $M O (q)$ are in even degrees. Although this is a known result, it had followed from a difficult proof that ${B P}^{*} (B O (q))$ was Landweber flat. Landweber flatness follows from the even Morava $K$ –theory. We go further and compute an explicit description of $K {(n)}_{*} (B O (q))$ and $K {(n)}_{*} (M O (q))$ and reconcile it with the purely algebraic construct from Landweber flatness.
