Genesis capsule crashes in US, damage "extensive": NASA

This NASA television image received 08 September 2004, shows a photographer taking pictures of the Genesis return capsule on the ground as it landed in Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.The Genesis space capsule, which had orbited the sun for more than three years in an attempt to find clues to the origin of the solar system, crashed to Earth on 08 September after its parachute failed to deploy. The 494-kilo (1,000-pound) spacecraft used hexagonal wafers of silicon, gold, sapphire and diamond to capture 10 to 20 micrograms of the invisible bits of solar wind. The samples were the first returned to Earth from outside the moon's orbit, and the first samples of any kind returned to Earth since the final Apollo mission to the moon in 1972. AFP PHOTO/NASA TV
