Yeah, now if they can just get the technology functioning without going way over budget again....

I wonder if this is partly because of the rage directed at NASA by the scientists at LPSC the other week...
Either way, it's good. I was really looking forward to see what Ceres and Vesta look like up close, and I was really peeved that they axed it last month.

Well, as far as I can tell, nothing really has changed. They may have a launch date, but they still haven't overcome any of their previous hurtles, so that date will likely be pushed back as time goes on.
Frankly, I would have been much more excited to see the TPF reinstated.

Me too. These planets should have been explored by spacecraft long ago.
