Crash your vehicle recently? Feeling frustrated at yourself? Don’t feel bad, at least you didn’t spend $264 million on it and then crash it during a live broadcast on television and the internet!

What makes the difference, I imagine, is if you got good mileage before you trashed the vehicle. I suppose NASA can say they did, since their “vehicle” had traveled 1.86 million miles before it crashed. ;-D

I am referring to NASA’s Genesis Project, which was launched on August 8, 2001, involved intricate recovery plans that pilots started training for in 1999, and ended in futility earlier today when the spacecraft accidentally crash landed during reentry. Ouch!
