BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Genesis to return its Sun cargo: "The Genesis probe, which left Earth in 2001 to gather particles blown off the Sun, returns its cargo on Wednesday.
It will eject a capsule that will enter Earth's atmosphere at 40,000km/h before slowing, with the help of a parachute, to fall over the Utah desert.
Hollywood stunt pilots are waiting to snatch the parachute in mid-air to prevent the capsule hitting the ground."
That is not only pretty cool by way of utilizing Hollywood stunt pilots, but it's also very awesome to see how much we can learn from the atoms emitted by the Sun!
