I'm 49 and will be 50 in January. With the success of New Horizons, being the first humans to ever see Pluto is mind blowing, I was wondering if I/we will ever see a probe or exploration of Uranus and Neptune? Are there any plans for exploring these two planets in the near future?
Thanks, James Sontag -------------------- Axes Grind and Maces Clash!

Proposals for Uranus orbiters have had flight times of about 12 years before arrival. We might optimistically expect this mission to begin in the early 2040s. Let's hope that we're all around to see this happen. Results from a Neptune orbiter are starting to look unlikely for anyone who's currently over the age of 40.
