ediron2's Journal: Sorry I crashed Genesis. I meant well...

I confess... I did this. Mea Culpa, Mea culpa, my bad.

Some friends and I got the idea a few weeks ago, and over beers and pizza we rigged up some corrugated pipe and wire, made our own half-pipe antenna, hacked the Genesis telemetry, and figured out some of the needed parameters to change. Disabling the chutes was easy enough, but we apparently we screwed up a decimal when we altered the trajectory.

We were aiming for 40.34N, 111.72W(I've rounded the answer to avoid turning Darl's house into a Geocache target again). I figured at $260 Million, it'd be a bargain. What is that, like $3 apiece for every annoyed nerd that'd get back to concentrating on something useful?
