We all are hoping that a significant amount of science can still be salvaged from the Genisis Probe. But, the crash did give us a great science demonstration!

At approximately 300 km/hr at impact, the probe gave us a great demonstration of what the terminal velosity of a meteorite is (after atmosphere penetration had eliminated its cosmic velosity )!
