Re: Europa Orbiter

The Europa Orbiter was canceled from the 2003 budget.

Hard to imagine funding for a probe that has to over come the harsh radiation of Jupiter and somehow drill through ice that could be over 20 miles thick. A tough mission in the Anartic. At least the Europa Orbiter could have scouted for a thin ice sheet.

Phil's ISS budget rants are coming true.
