Evidently, the parachute test for NASA’s Constellation program failed. The image looks rather tragic.

“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.”

I think they’re forgetting about all the parachute testing that JPL has done for the MER and the MSL rovers.
