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*?

I've learned to embrace Uranus jokes (there, I did it again). About 75% of space-related conversations between me and my husband (of which there aren't very many, admittedly) involve Uranus jokes. Don't view it as a handicap, view it as a way to warm up the audience!

My problem was that I was running slides on timed sequences from a reel to reel tape (we had a more modern-for-the-time system, but it died and forced us back to the old one), so by the time I finished laughing the slides were visualizations of the Kuiper Belt. And yes, my wife and I make plenty of jokes...the last name Stryk (pronounced "Strike" for those who don't know) doesn't help.
