And you thought the movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066769/) was scary.

They have Hollywood stunt pilots nabbing the space capsule. (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2004-207)

The chutes failed? Well, THAT sucks! :(

I just heard about it on the news. Bummer. I hate that when that happens. Looks pretty good though for something that fell as far as it did. I wonder if the samples survived? ....Uhhhh ....something is crawling out of it ....get away from that thing!!! .... OMG ...its ...ITS ...Alf.... quick, lock up your cats....

hmmmm that does look rather like an alien hand at the 11 o'clock position...

The guy inspecting it is some poor schmoe from the local cattle ranch who later turned into a giant tentacled plant that likes Japanese school girls wearing sailor uniforms.

I guess this proves that the Jupiter 2 can crash land and look ok.

They've got nothing to worry about. Everybody knows radiation's only dangerous if you touch it. (Hey, why's my Jolly Rancher melting in my pocket?)

At least it missed my house...

You hear that Bob? It's say'n, I can see clean through my butt hole!

I want to know why our planet wasn't instantly terraformed with a new life matrix...;)

"There's a fire."

Maybe the parachute was metric.

As I said on another thread, ironic that it landed near Dugway, Utah.
