Genesis Launches 10

sgups writes: "An article in the Toronto Star says NASA was finally able to launch its robotic explorer named Genesis to gather and return tiny particles of the sun after being delayed for 9 days. The samples will be returned sometime in 2004. It will gather atoms from solar winds at a point about 148 million kms from the sun and these would be the first time extra terrestrial samples will be returned since Apollo 17's moonwalkers brought back one last bundle of lunar rocks in December 1972."
