First NEW HORIZONS and Now This... Flyby Missions Through the Outer Solar System (and Beyond) Continue to Elude Me...
Click on this Blog entry from September 2005 to know what I'm talking about in regards to New Horizons. With the Venus community finally placated by two new Discovery-class missions (Discovery 15 and 16... I refuse to type their names here) that were selected by NASA earlier today, what are the chances the Ice Giant community will be thrown a bone with New Frontiers 5 as well as the Discovery 17 and 18 competitions later this decade?
Later this decade. As opposed to today...when Trident could've officially began its march to a launch that would've taken place as early as October of 2025. But no— The spacecraft shown below will most likely never become a reality. And with that, I say that the astronomers who announced the phosphine discovery about Venus last year can now go royally SCREW THEMSELVES. I waited 15+ years for this opportunity, and these bastards took it from me.
