    Here's the Orion mockup parachute test failing, er, everything. http://www.space.com/common/media/video.php?videoRef=SP_080821_parchute_test[^] Nice clean breakaway from the second set of failed chutes, after the first ones failed, but before the last ones did.

      That's one of the reasons skydivers use square canopies nowadays, they open a lot more cleanly and have a lower failure rate.

        But the parachute did end up opening. After the capsule hit the ground...

        cheers, Chris Maunder

        They always do that when they fail. It is as if they want to tell you something ;P

                  Like said I got it working in FF now, though it did prompt me to update flash, so I suspect IE's flash is also out of date.

                      If you read the articles published elsewhere, it wasn't the actual  Orion capsule chutes that failed, it was the "staging" chutes being used to "set up" the test itself by getting the capsule properly aligned to simulate reentry attitude. Sadly the impact on program schedule is the same as if the re-entry package itself had failed...
