Well, that's one way to dig a hole for a tree in this God-forsaken desert, though a little more expensive than renting a jackhammer. |

No. He does server as an example of the progressive nature of mental illness. In that way, he makes a contribution. It's like they say, "Everybody carries a message for us." The trick is to be open to that message. Well said MJD. And I don't even drink beer. ;-) Shawn |

You think they are not the same?

They still have hope for recovering some of the solar samples. If containment was breached (and in a 200mph crash it seems very likely that it will have been) then the scientific usefulness of the samples will be very limited. They were meant only to be opened in a top grade clean room. Desert dust will contaminate the samples. Reports over here talk of cracks inches wide in both containers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3638926.stm Not good. Regards, -- Martin Brown |

Now we know why it is so hot in UT :-) But I agree re the effect of the impact on the science. Phil |

I think the samples will have limited usefulness even if the containment was not breached. There would always be doubt and suspicion associated with any results that might come from studying these samples. Jon |
