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*?

In conjunction with the Decadal Survey, the "Giant Planets Panel" had a study performed in regards to a Neptune Orbiter/Flyby/Probe.
