I've started a new blog on this topic at http://futureplanets.blogspot.com/
This blog supplements UMSF by allowing on topic discussions that include politics and other topics not appropriate here. The first entry is up with some additional news on the MSL funding and schedule problems. -------------------- |

Several new posts on at FuturePlanets. This week's entries focused on a possible Galilean Satellite Observer that would be an expansion of the proposed Ganymede Observer. The Galilean Satellite Observer would be a fallback if budgets don't allow for the Jupiter Europa Orbiter.
Galilean Satellite Observer Summary of proposed Ganymede Observer Response to proposal by Bruce M. Response to proposal by John R. Comments are always welcome. -------------------- |
