DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah - A daring plan to have helicopters snag a space capsule as it plunged toward Earth went awry Wednesday when its parachutes failed to open and it slammed into the desert floor.    The catastrophic descent left the Genesis capsule buried halfway underground and exposed its collection of solar atoms to contamination...

NASA -- As scientists begin to unpack more than 3,000 containers of samples of the sun brought to Earth by NASA's Genesis mission, the Mishap Investigation Board (MIB) has identified a likely direct cause of the failure of Genesis' parachute system to open.     The parachute system failed to deploy when Genesis returned to Earth September 8, 2004...
