This was a really sad day for science :(

Hopefully, the second capsule named "Stardust" thats scheduled to return to earth in the year 2006, will make it back without error

And they're calling it 'stardust'? Yep, that one's definitely ending up in the ocean. :)

Said on the news today that they think most of the samples survived the crash and study will proceed.

That's what I heard too.

And I heard that very same thing. We three are incredibly well informed...

:)

I dont care what ever happens with this story....I still have earned the word Stardust to my vocabulary because of it.

Sry, but I find this almost as funny as the whole measurement screw up a couple of years ago. For 16 million dollars, you would think someone could double check the math?

Math nerds always think theyre right.

Yes Locke, you would think on a project like that they would have known whether they were dealing in inches or metric.

I can hear them now "who the heck left this parachute under my desk?, woops."

I am a believer that scientists rarely know anything.

They are just like weathermen, paid to be wroing.
