Hi all,

Just been checking out the latest NASA news and it appears that the parachutes did not open during the re-entry of the Genesis spacecraft. It crashed in Utah and sustained some damage. Do not know yet if the solar wind samples are still usable. sad sad

NASA briefing in a few minutes.

Bummer.
