Splat!

Oooo, sadly NASA‘s Genesis capsule went splat into the desert after the parachutes failed to deploy. There was video of the splattage at NASA TV (along with video coverage of other unrelated things). There is a press conference scheduled for 2:30 EDT (also on NASA TV) where presumably we’ll be told if there was anything salvagable from the sun-dust Genesis collected and what might have gone wrong with the parachutes.
