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!

Outer Solar System Exploration:
A Compelling and Unified Dual Mission Decadal Strategy for Exploring Uranus, Neptune, Triton, Dwarf Planets, and Small KBOs and Centaurs A.A. Simon (NASA GSFC), S.A. Stern (SwRI), M. Hofstadter (Caltech/JPL) https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1807/1807.08769.pdf Yep, not perfect (I'd prefer the Uranus orbiter and the Nepture / KBO flyby) but I understand the rationale. Something has got to happen soon, or just about everyone on this board will be pushing up daisies before we return to the outer solar system. P |

I hear you in that I do hope something does happen soon as I'm 51 and if it doesn't, I'll be pushing up daisies like you said. It would be a dream come true, a proper exploration of Uranus & Neptune.
