NASA Recovers Genesis

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.'"

Yes it is paranoia, but shouldn't there be an ounce of it in the face of such 'certainties' that all we do is infallible?

I know and understand that 'particles from the solar wind' are all over the place, but what else is there in 26 million miles of space that we don't know about?

All I'm saying is, we seem to be mighty sure of ourselves to be making such great petri-dish'es crash-land into our mineral-rich deserts...
