[meteorite-list] Genesis parachute failure

[Tom AKA James Knudson]

"S**t happends"

What a bummer!! I heard a ex NASA scientist say that this was another low
cost mission and they should have spent more money on testing the parachute
system.  What is it with these low budget missions, they seem to fail a lot.
Who is behind NASA's tight budget (at the time of launching) ?

Thanks, Tom
