Fast Fiction

I got up this morning to watch the Genesis reentry on the Nasa Channel. Since it was only nine when I came downstairs, I went ahead and set the PVR to bring it in while I walked the dog.

Then I came back and started from the beginning. It was only because I was browsing the internet at the same time that I found out that Genesis had crashed. The chute failed to deploy.

That just sucks.

I hope that the samples it took (“recover science” as the Nasa fellows call it) are still viable.
