Chopper Pilots Train to Catch Space Probe

mav[LAG] writes "Hollywood helicopter pilots have been training for a unique catch planned for September: they will hopefully snag in midair the parachute of a capsule dropped by the Genesis project before it touches down in the Utah desert. The capsule will contain collector arrays of solar particles that should, er, shed some light on the origins of the solar system."

The stakes are high, because if the probe touches down it will destroy all life on Earth before reterraforming the planet.
