APOD: 2004 September 14 - Genesis Missions Hard Impact
Or the sample return capsule from Genesis bit the dust.
We can put a capsule into space, a man on the moon but functional parachutes? Forget about it.
The Genesis scientists still think that they can get useful information from the damaged unit. I bet they are seriously annoyed that the mission went perfect until the last moment and that the malfunction was because of a parachute. This shows the need for a space station. Stuff re-entering our atmosphere doesn't work out a lot. Just build a small practical unit on the moon and be done with it.
