Okay, that headline just sounds bad, but it's what the article posted at CNN used. The closing paragraph has me wondering what NASA's been smoking recently:
"To preserve the delicate solar particles in their matrix of gold, sapphire and diamond, specially trained helicopter pilots will snag the return capsule from mid-air using giant hooks. The flight crews for the two helicopters assigned for the capture and return of Genesis are former military aviators, Hollywood stunt pilots and an active-duty Air Force test pilot."
Suddenly, I have images of Willy Wonka's Elevator and its "sky hooks" whirling through my mind...
