From the wording of this announcement, MSL is clearly still on, which is a good thing. We'll have to wait and see. Doug |

Can anybody here think of what planetary missions there are that would have big budgets in 2010 and 2011 for MSL to raid? The only one I can think of is Juno. Assuming there will be no more delays (which isn't very realistic), there will be four (sic!) planetary missions launched in 2011: LADEE, Juno, GRAIL and MSL I'm afraid that NASA will find tempting to cancel the first one in the list - although it has a small budget (ca $100M), it's still in early phase and isn't such a sexy mission for public's eye. |
