I propose that NASA send a new probe to be named Venus-Express Express. It's mission is to go to Venus and check on what Venus Express is doing, and see if it is even still there.

The NASA argument doesn't stand up. They have four times as much money and do four times as many projects.
Consider Mars Odyssey. Daily image releases. Aqua and Terra....gigabytes of raw data every single day. I could go on citing examples, but it is not needed. I don't know anyone who thinks that ESA does a good enough job of explaining itself to the public and publicising it's achievments and ongoing activities. It started with Giotto and it's been crap ever since. To not have a single image from VEX in more than three months is not even funny - it's pathetic. Utterly utterly pathetic. Doug |

QUOTE (djellison @ Oct 5 2006, 05:16 PM)  Utterly utterly pathetic. Doug I truly hope you don't regret those words in an upcoming future... Talking is easy when you deal with a space program that has 50 years behind... ESA is a baby and it's parents work is to protect her untill she can walk on it's own. In Europe there is a legal figure known as referendum... Free criticism is nice a construtive one is even better... Don...The "thing" is publically funded in a comic percentage...And we, the majority of less informed Europeans deal with very well...Maybe confrontation is needed... Who knows? Maybe if Russia becames an ESA's full member things might change a BIT?... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
