Thanks for the encomium, Marcia! I have three more parts of my series on the Decadal Survey Meeting coming (with the first two dealing with some of the genuinely interesting new mission proposals presented, and the last describing the latest news on the form of the Mars program).

As for New Horizons, I already have a little advance information on the mission's nature (presented at the Meeting), and Alan Stern has promised to give me a lot more, which I'll present as soon as possible (presumably in yet another article). I will also, however, have a correction to make in my next article about my earlier claim regarding the ease with which an ion-drive Pluto mission could be flown if we miss the 2006 Jupiter flyby opportunity -- it now turns out that it would be a lot more complex and expensive than the speaker who described it implied, which further increases the justification for flying the 2006 Pluto mission.
