I hope TiME gets chosen in 2016. Outer Planet mission > Inner Planet mission

I also prefer TiME to the other candidates. METNET can do some Martian geophysical studies and Rosetta/Philae can investigate a comet nucleus. But when's the next chance we'll get to see Titan up close other than this?
Edit: Oops, I forgot METNET was 100% meteorological! For some reason I thought it had a few geophysical instruments as well. |
