Just found out today at a MER all-hands meeting that both MER and Odyssey will each be suffering an immediate $4 million budget cut to help defray the cost of MSL. Read more here: http://martianchronicles.wordpress.com/200...rs-budget-cuts/

That's GREAT news! Of course, it'll still have to be passed by the overall House and survive conference with the Senate. But it's a promising start.

Personally I think both Titan and Europa are interesting places to explore in general. I would also want the current funding on the rovers to continue, since they are the only resource like them currently on Mars and I think they will easily still surprise us with what they find. Therefore, funding must be increased. The ultimate expansion in human consciousness is worth the extra $50/year for the average taxpayer.
