I've started a new blog on this topic at http://futureplanets.blogspot.com/
This blog supplements UMSF by allowing on topic discussions that include politics and other topics not appropriate here. The first entry is up with some additional news on the MSL funding and schedule problems. -------------------- |

If the word "Planetary" in "New Planetary Science Mission" is to be taken literally, then it must mean a Venus mission, since neither the Moon nor an asteroid are considered planets.

QUOTE (charborob @ May 25 2011, 11:13 AM)  If the word "Planetary" in "New Planetary Science Mission" is to be taken literally, then it must mean a Venus mission, since neither the Moon nor an asteroid are considered planets. Planetary is essentially solar system exploration. You can play a semantics game if you like - but that's what it is. Discovery program missions to comets, asteroids, moon, mars and elsewhere are all 'Planetary' in the budget. |
