 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

I second SFJCody's comment about a capstone event, but I would give it a slightly different slant.
With NEAR we got a look at the lower end of the mid-sized asteroids. With Hayabusa we got a look at the smallest end of asteroids, and saw our first flying rubble pile With Dawn, we will see 2 of the largest asteroids. We will have completed our inital sampling of the asteroid belt. |
