Somewhat off-topic, but pretty cool stuff:

On Tuesday, April 3, Boeing conducted an experiment at Delamar Dry Lake, one of the emergency landing locations for Area 51, by releasing a vintage NASA Apollo capsule from 8,000 feet above the dry lake bed by helicopter.

The capsule landed safely on the lake bed. The successful experiment was video tape for the Discovery Channel Daily Plant show.
