Project Stardust was a success

[RevanA4]

I'm sure some of you hear of NASA's plan to collect dust from a comet that started around 7 years ago.

 

well they finally finished it on sunday

 

 

NASA's Stardust sample return mission returned safely to Earth when the capsule carrying cometary and interstellar particles successfully touched down at 2:10 a.m. Pacific time (3:10 a.m. Mountain time) in the desert salt flats of the U.S. Air Force Utah Test and Training Range.

 

"Ten years of planning and seven years of flight operations were realized early this morning when we successfully picked up our return capsule off of the desert floor in Utah," said Tom Duxbury, Stardust project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "The Stardust project has delivered to the international science community material that has been unaltered since the formation of our solar system."

Then they are useless.

How expensive was that thing?

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

Less expensive than the fuel to let it fly a few billion miles. We should spend money on other, more important things, like going to Mars

Ziggy deserves to be burried in space. That is all.
