Those who would blame W for the crash fail to recognize that the bulk of the project's conception and development took place under Clinton's watch.

No laser, its not a Mars rover.

Genesis was on the search for particles of space dust that could have been present before the planets of this system were formed.

It was positioned between the gravity fields of Earth and the Sun (where the gravity fields cancel each other out) with the thinking being that particles of dust could have been suspended there shortly after Earth's formation.

Why do we keep wasting money on crap like this?

Understanding the origins of the planets in this solar system will go a long way to narrow the search for potential other planets that might hold or support life.

I consider that a worthwhile endeavor as there will come a time we will need to bail from this planet.

The real problem was trying to save money on the project as NASA has little to spend on things these days. It was a good idea and would have worked, but...stuff happens.
