This is the disconnect I mentioned with Joe. You all are talking about missions in the short-term. I'm talking about developing technology first. The mission hardware will be cheaper and better as the technology improves. The current missions planned could be cut way back and the money put into R&D instead. I'm in no hurry to hear biology reports from Europa or similar. It will happen when the time is right. 20, 50, 100 years from now, no worries.
