[meteorite-list] Genisis Crash

[Charles O'Dale]

We all are hoping that a significant amount of science can still be salvaged 
from the Genisis Probe. But, the crash did give us a great science 
demonstration!

At approximately 300 km/hr at impact, the probe gave us a great 
demonstration of what the terminal velosity of a meteorite is (after 
atmosphere penetration had eliminated its cosmic velosity )!
