Description
"Parachute? I didn't pack the parachute. I thought YOU were supposed to pack the parachute."
"YOU were supposed to pack it! Remember? I was down at the scrap yard, selling the landing gear that NASA said wasn't necessary."
"Idiot."
"I know you are, but what am I?"
You've no doubt heard that the Genesis space capsule carrying samples of solar wind particles crashed into the Utah desert today, at 193mph. It was supposed to be caught by the parachute, in midair, by a helicopter with a hook, flown by a Hollywood stunt pilot. Something went wrong. Sounds like something out of Hollywo.... oh, it was.

Great image, and cute dialogue from the characters.;)
They meant to CATCH it mid air!! Well, who would have thought that idea wouldn't have worked. Makes it kinda hard to catch without a parachute. Great picture, great humor. I like the dazed way they are wandering around. And for some reason it reminds me of C3PO and R2D2 in Star Wars.
Great !
Lol!! Yeah, what a cock-up.
yeah, I was watching that on the NASA channel yesterday- great depiction~
Talk about millions of $'s falling from the sky hehe, Great Job!!
charming work... love the dialog... and the smoking 'Genesis' part sitting in the upchurned dirt... cute cute!
"One small step for man" etc. Hey, a banana skin under that woodentop's leading foot would have completed the picture for me. Very witty, and excellently depicted.
The picture looks better than the one I saw from AP.
OMG thats too funny!! I didn't know they missed....hahahaha....Super play on reality...LOL (=
lol I knew "they" had to do with it. Great one! :-D
"Genesis forbidden is! take you there I will not!"..Star Trek 3..;)
well, it looked good on paper.
why I always have a check off list:) excellent humor and image
Very funny...they look a bit dizzy...Well done !!
LOL, & the rock samples are still just inside the door on the Rover. Damn!! Funny, frogdot!
ROTFLMAO!!! I couldn't believe they tried that either.....Great pic!
Very cool,lets just hope those loose particles doesnt start a wave of galactic zombies;)
A different kind of crash test dummy, LOL.
Human technology "zero" Sun's secrets "one"...game, point, and match.
loll what a funny one !! also simple and effective... Great!! Now just hope they have enouth water to go-on... :o)) Thks!
LOL! :-) (BTW, the capture method wasn't new -- they did it all the time for spy satellite film drops back in the 1960s and '70s, until digital photography made the film obsolete.)
Great job!...
