Genesis update...

after this morning's crash of the Genesis Solar Particle Probe, NASA's top engineer was put to work designing a replacement...

pearls before swine...

ooops..!

I managed to get on the live internet feed this morning to watch the re-entry of the Genesis space probe return to Earth with it's delicate cargo of captured solar particles. A stunt pilot in a helicopter was supposed to snag it in mid descent so the contents wouldn't get shaken up by a hard landing. Unfortunately, the chute did not open and I watched it bury itself in the Utah desert...

would it be safe to say that NASA is bewitched..?
more nonsense later.
