Doesn't stardust use EXACTLY the same parachute detonator that the ill
fated Genesis used (or didn't use in this case!) ?

Hi All,

While SETI at Home searched for something that might be there, the
upcoming STARDUST at home will search actual material!

Although the program is not up and running, namely because it is still
51 days till there is something to study, you can preregister for the
program. Here is their website:

http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

BTW: If you are not paying attention to the STARDUST mission, you are
missing out on history in the making. Other than Lunar meteorites,
this will be the first mission (I think) that will provide some
sample-returned ground truth for solar system bodies outside the
earth-moon system.

Cheers,

Martin
