Just 'cause I said I would...
Hopefully, though, this whole episode has made its point -- NASA isn't afraid to tell overbudget missions to stand down. I just *really* wish we could get the magnetometer back on the beastie, though... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Colleen Hartman said yesterday that the arrival dates were not changed by the one-year launch delay.

If the Dawn development team can't determine whether there is a subsurface ocean on Dawn, then the mission is doomed! The plan to include an ocean on Dawn has been scrubbed due to mass considerations. |
