Space capsule crashes into Utah desert

Read how a $260 million dollar NASA project fell to earth and impaled itself into the Utah desert, all while helicopters piloted by Hollywood stunt men waited to capture it in mid air. Problem? The parachutes that are supposed to slow it down (and what would have allowed the helicopters to snag it) never deployed. So it free fell at 190+ miles an hour out of space.

It sounded like something right out of a movie but in fact it was reality. I’m not sure if the helicopters could have caught this thing in mid air but it was a good thought.
