Great news for anyone following this story...although whatever discoveries made by the mission probably won't get half the attention of the probe's crash.

"We should be able to meet most if not all of our primary science goals," Roger Wiens, a key scientist on the project, said at a telephone news conference. "Overall, we're quite confident that we can achieve a high degree of success from a science point of view."
"And if we don't achieve our goals we'll fake it and say it was a total success anyway. We certainly don't want to lose critical government funding for future projects."

The crash left Genesis cracked and embedded in the Utah desert, and scientists were demoralized at first, said Don Sevilla, the lead engineer in the recovery project.
Gee, I thought the demoralization of scientists started back when the bulk of them uncritically accepted philosophical naturalism as a belief system and called it "science."
