Choosing from 8 NASA exploration missions, decisions, decisions...
Found the following article on Network World Magazine (via Slashdot)...
As part of the New Frontiers program, NASA will pick from amongst 8 proposals; here are some of them:
* return sample from the Moon's South Polar Region
* Venus insitu - explore the surface and lower atmosphere
* Comet sample return
* Trojan/Centaur Reconnaissance
* Io orbiter
* Ganymede orbiter
I'd favor the Io orbiter, it seems the most interesting example of Vidal Heating and Volcanism.
