This NASA Discovery mission is to be launched in June 2008 and will search for Earth-size and smaller planets. Launch was originally scheduled in 2007 but delayed by 8 months due to "funding constraints".

Too bad Alan wasn't around to prevent the GP-B fiasco.
Slightly related...We've often heard the quote, "That sure would look great in the Smithsonian". Got two questions: 1. Are there any projects that were killed and placed in the Smithsonian, or A&S museums in general? 2. Really, wouldn't you be disappointed to see an unlaunched space probe sitting there in the A&S museum? I think it would be better to mount it in the foyer of the managing team's facility as a reminder. -------------------- Space Enthusiast Richard Hendricks
