they showed an animation video of how they are going to capture the space craft upon re-entry in midair at the planetarium last nite. the video is very cool and worth watching
nasa hired hollywood stuntmen to use the hellicopters to catch the spaccraft by a parachutte because the panels are so fragile, landing on the earth might damage them.
this will be very cool to watch if it works. i know nasa tv is showing coverage of it, i'm not sure about regular cable tv.
On Sept. 8, NASA's Genesis mission is returning to Earth, bearing samples of the Sun. In a well-rehearsed midair maneuver, a helicopter will hook the spacecraft's return capsule and bring it gently and safely to the ground. The capsule's contents of solar wind may help scientists understand the origins of our solar system. The event, which takes place in the skies over Utah, will be broadcast live on NASA TV and the Internet.
