2 parachutes malfunctioned in NASA test flight

None

NASA says two of three parachutes malfunctioned in the test flight of a prototype moon rocket earlier this week.

 

The problem caused the Ares I-X booster to slam into the Atlantic Ocean harder than expected. The booster was badly dented by the impact. (AP)
