I know this hasn't been a favorite mission for some, but it may pay off just as Galileo and even the Voyagers have.

Dr. Colleen Hartman, Solar System Exploration Director in NASA's Office of Space Science: "But the most exciting thing about going to an unexplored planet is what we may find there that we're not expecting."

The Kuiper Belt may hold some surprises.

Will a mission to the Oort cloud be next? Ok, this one seems to be a 'go', so I'll stop right there. :)

Thanks Vince and Keith.
