Genesis is coming...

Look out - Genesis is coming back on September 8:

"On September 8th, a daylight fireball will streak across the western United States. It's Genesis, returning samples of the Sun to Earth."

An incredibly interesting project - can't wait to see some results. If any of you folks get to see it - or even take a photo - post here!

RE: Genesis is coming...

What a great article!
Thanks for that post, and I hope that we get some actual photos posted here. Is there money in the budget to send one of us out to see it? If I had known, I would have planned a camping trip that way...

RE: Genesis is coming...

Imagine how incredible science is at understanding the reality we live in. Being able to throw a hunk of metal milions of miles for almost 2.5 years, around the sun, and have it picked out of the sky by a helicopter (if all goes well!).

And it has samples of the Solar Wind inside of it!

Just how mind boggling is that?

And this going on at the same time as the Mars explorers are continuing to celebrate an extended life with results it will take us perhaps decades to fully understand!

Add to this Medical Science. Having just grown an entire replacement jawbone in the person himself thru stem cells.

You remember, that horrible Atheist based Secular religion of Science! And it's horrible faith based religion of Evolution! What do they know?

Yep!..... That's ME. Seriously, I guess I'll have to post my real picture just to get this "old scientist " vision out of everyone's heads.

Well, this didn't go at all well. 300 million dollars just hit the desert.

RE: Genesis is coming...

That's really rather disappointing. I can hardly wait to hear what evil Christians must have done to cause this crash...

RE: Genesis is coming...

See, god got mad cause I made fun of him and caused it to crash!

Damn you god!

Yes well, I still think it was amazing. And like they say, it wasn't the fall that hurt it. It did perhaps perfectly for 99.99999...% of it's journey.

Maybe it was god's way of telling Irish not to go skydiving. Them parachutes don't always open.

What was it that old cartoon guy used to say???

"Watch it friend, that last step's a doozy..."

But I agree that the overall mission still should be considered a success, huh?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
