There's an excellent article in the New York Times today, in the Science section. Various people are consulted to evaluate NASA's capability to mobilize for a lunar colony and a Mars mission. Some say it can be done, but only if they cut the shuttle program and shut down "unneeded centers." If you want the article, email me at mcbyrne@mit.edu. (NY Times requires membership, which is free, but in case you didn't want to go through the trouble...)

Here's another link. Hard to tell whether this is just hot air being blown about for the sake of reelection...cost is not being addressed at this point, but it could serve to mobilize people and resources in a positive direction.

Bon voyage, Eric! We will not let you down. Off to Europa and leaving Mars to the rest of us, eh?
Bethany, if you can or want to post any updates from JPL, we'd love to have them.
Hope everyone had a happy new year! We have Opportunity AND Cassini to go in 2004...

...they knew it was coming...
"Due to unprecedented demand for our high-resolution images, we have temporarily taken down our video content."`
