This just out. Not earth-shattering, but colorful - maybe handy as an up-to-date

The strategy I envision is sort of a "one-note pony" theme; maybe two or three instruments per mission designed to answer a specific research question, that's it. Core assumption is that the launch vehicle is the vast majority of cost (and, yeah, the demise of the Delta II is a huge blow... ...hopefully new LVs from the independent launch enterprises like SpaceX will prove both more capable and less costly over time.)
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
