Hi All, Here are some websites with more info on this issue:
http://www.planetary.org/news/2004/1015_Investigation_Uncovers_Likely_Cause_of.html http://www.spacetoday.org/SolSys/Sun/Genesis.html and, of course, the real news... http://www.aliendave.com/UUFOH_Genesis-Stardust.html By the way, a way to teach kids about the situation with Genesis is to throw a box of crackers at the floor. Then carefully open the box collecting the parts and inspecting the integrity of the crackers and cracker parts. Obviously you could add much more to this like throwing the crackers into a mud hole fulll of rocks making sure that the box opens and dirt gets in, but in general, I thought the analog fit rather well. And it is much cheaper than my original idea of pushing a loaded china cabinet off a building.
