SALT LAKE CITY - NASA scientists said Friday they had recovered some intact materials from the wreckage of the Genesis space capsule that crashed this week and were hopeful that the mission to gather solar atoms could be salvaged.   "We should be able to meet many, if not all, of our science goals," said physicist Roger C...
