I assume NASA will have a press confernce to announce the result? Since they haven't announced one yet, I assume the selection notification is still at least several days off?

I assume NASA will have a press confernce to announce the result? Since they haven't announced one yet, I assume the selection notification is still at least several days off? It seems that way, alas. The Discovery program website http://discovery.larc.nasa.gov/discovery/index.html now says 'July 24, 2012 ... The new target date for the Downselection announcement is August 2012' My experience with Cassini findings being sometimes deferred during e.g. manned program events is that NASA typically doesn't like to have multiple news stories come out close together which might dilute their individual impact, so I would guess they will not make an announcement in the middle of the MSL/Curiosity landing hoopla. This is just my guess : I do not speak for NASA. |
