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

I know a lot of people involved with MSL lurk here, so our thoughts and best wishes go out to you guys during this difficult period of uncertainty and speculation, etc. It must be a million times harder for you than for us. We're with you, ok? smile.gif
