Boeing Tests Parachute System for CST-100 Spacecraft  The main parachutes deploy for Boeing's crew capsule during a parachute drop test on May 2, 2012. This is the second successful parachute drop test for its Crew Space Transportation (CST) spacecraft, part of Boeing's effort to develop commercial crew transportation capabilities that could ferry U.S. astronauts to and from low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station. To accomplish the task, a helicopter lifted the CST-100 crew capsule to about 10,000 feet above the Delmar Dry Lake Bed near Alamo, Nev. A drogue parachute deployment sequence was initiated, followed by deployment of the main parachute. The capsule descended to a smooth ground landing, cushioned by six inflated air bags.

Feeling a lil bit cold, are we, SJS?
Ha, well, *we* were the ones raised in the pre-global warming Nebraskan winters – the rest, well, they are a decidedly more warm blooded
-SJS
Pre-global warming, nothin’. I can’t speak as to Nebraska for sure, but Iowa has been downright frigid the past month. I’m talking sub zero air temperatures with below -20 wind chills.
Of course, I love cold weather, so I’m not complaining near as much as the rest of my friends.
