Your wrong.
Their solution of a parasail was perfect. The problem wasn't with the parasail, the problem was with the explosive device that was supposed to deploy it. If blame is to be placed, place it on the person who poorly designed the chute deployment mechanism.
First of all, it is "you're". Secondly, since the explosive device is PART of that solution, it was flawed.
Well, you know what, when people screw up at work in Corporate america, they have to own up to it and fix the issue. I am really getting tired of seeing the money I pay for taxes literally going up into flames (Mars probes, Shuttles blowing up, and now this) and all that happens is "well, we will investigate it, release a 1000 page summary, and still screw up saying that this is all an experiment" Grow up and actually care that these bozos are wasting people's time, money and lives.
Yes, commercialize NASA since there is no such thing as accountability in the government.
Should also fire all these quack jobs that think parachutes are the answer to everything. This isn't a freaking $260 million egg-drop contest. Kinda sad that these engineers would lose to most 4th graders. If it is landing in the desert, use thrusters, sheesh.
And since this is such a waste of tax money, all those involved in this failure should be fined so the money can be repaid. Most companies are successful in suing negligent employees and winning amounts consistent with the failure they produce.
ok, so this thing travels in space for months, was $260 million to make and the parachute fails?
they should have known if there was a parachute failure before it hit the ground; seems very deliberate to me. Probably analyzed some of the debris on the way back to earth and saw something; most recovered devices are not returned to NASA with an ARMED escort.
