Wörner said a few days ago (9 Dec) that he is trying to rescue the AIM mission, though how realistic that is, I have no idea.
QUOTE Woerner, on the lack of funding for the Asteroid Impact Mission: I don’t give up. I keep fighting for it because it is too important. QUOTE Woerner on AIM: ran into problems when Germany offered less than expected, then withdrew funding altogether. Still working to “rescue” it. https://twitter.com/jeff_foust/status/807274575658618880 https://twitter.com/jeff_foust/status/807278269011738624 -------------------- |
