As soon as MESSENGER gets to Mercury, the most poorly explored planets in the solar system will be Uranus and Neptune. Could this lead to a revival of interest in the ice giants and their retinue, in the same way that the existence of New Horizons is perhaps partly due to the Pluto stamp*?

Instead, we currently have inferior vidicom images to play with, and probably will for the rest of our lives. So, Gladstoner, would you cancel the next flagship mission, so that our grandchildren could see a little bit better quality images of Galilean moons or Titan? ![]() |
