Thought you folks might find this of interest. You should get a good view of it up there if you happen to be a night owl.
Hopefully the parachute deploys this time.....

Hey Paul,.... There was some discussion on a radio newscast up here, today. One of the points discussed was the fate of the last probe. :(

The commentator reported that this probe was probably better able to withstand a hard landing in case something happened to the parachutes, again. 8) 8)
