The parachute returns don't sit well with me. There's just too many ways for them to fail. The charge won't go off.. or isnt enough.. cords snap/tangle.. chutes don't always fill with air correctly.. etc. I mean look at what happened to that craft they sent to study the sun recently.. i got to watch it splat into the desert live on NASA TV. Sure it was entertaining, but a huge waste of cash. And of course the capsules would contain people which don't stand up as well to high speed impacts.
