Well, it was on Sunday morning but I didn't see anything about it here.

Stardust reentered earth's atmosphere at eight miles per second!!! (that's over 28,000 MPH)

The probe going to Pluto will be going 36000mph until it slingshots around Jupiter at which point it will hit 47000mph.

Good to see that this one made it intact. The last one of the return from space items that I remember about exploded on impact.

That is, if they ever get it off the ground...

Isn't there a test/program thingy that home users can participate in to help analyze the star dust?

I thought this thread was announcing a sequel to the x-rated film "Stardust Mammaries".
