No, you were wrong. You specifically stated "...NASA is finally considering sending a life science lander in 2003."
Barry says: Relax Alex, it was a typo. I meant 2008 -- as in the JPL Press Release I posted. As far as a lander or orbiter? Any life science mission is important, though I suppose the Mars Exploration Rovers have enough instrumentation capable of revealing the signiture of extant or extinct life.
What have you heard on the status of the Mars Exploration Rovers? SpaceDaily published an article ny Bruce Moomaw doubting the launch of the probes in 2003. Can you confirm anything either way?
