NASA Recovers Genesis

Posted by michael on from the any-landing-you-can-walk-away-from dept.

zjango writes "CNN carrying this... 'The Genesis capsule which crashed in the Utah desert Wednesday has been lifted out of its impact crater and moved to a holding area, NASA reported on its Web site. Scientists were cautiously optimistic that the payload -- dozens of fragile tiles that had collected particles of the solar wind for about two years -- could still yield viable material.'"

    The (seeming) failure of the mission is a big blow to the USs scientific credentials. Is it possible sabotage was involved by our enemies, I haven't seen any discussion of this real possibility?

    The timing is just too convenient.
