Bet you thought it could never happen.

More like a stain.

What a bummer. The scientists thought the collectors inside were so sensitive that they didn't even want it parachuting to the ground. It had to be caught by helicopter.

And people think there's a chance that they'll retrieve anything valuable.

In the engineering world we call this a "sh*t happens probable outcome".

Im lost. What is this again?

Jeff, that's a $264 million "oops". . . .

ha ha...

Would have been worse if it had landed flat. They still might get something.

yea they got something alright,264. mil. worth of egg's.

Yeah Tommy99, I had the same scary thought.

Yeah, they spent all that money on a 'high-tech hook' in order to catch the thing, maybe they should have developed a 'high-tech parachute' that actually deploys.

264 million of your tax crackers at work, 'sooner. Give us a jezzy peezy, will ya?

jeezy peezy---where is my bio suit?
