It shouldn&#39;t happen to a scientist: investigators have found that the $250m (Â£139m) Genesis space probe, which crash-landed in the Utah desert last month, failed because the switches designed to trigger its parachute were installed backwards.

SALT LAKE CITY - NASA scientists said Friday they had recovered some intact materials from the wreckage of the Genesis space capsule, which crashed this week in the Utah desert.    The recovery offered some hope that the mission to gather solar atoms and reveal clues to the origin of our solar system could be salvaged...
