leetrout writes "Fox News has the story on a parachute test failing on a mock up of the new Orion spacecraft. "This is the most complicated parachute test NASA has run since the '60's," said Carol Evans, test manager for the parachute system at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. "We are taking a close look at what caused the set-up chutes to malfunction. A failure of set-up parachutes is actually one of the most common occurrences in this sort of test." Space.com has the video." Link to Original Source
