When NASA was still under Dan Goldin's boot, the word "nuclear" was verbotten. Many of us despaired that anti-nuclear stupidity represented a glass ceiling and would deny us access to most of the Solar System. Then the new administrator took over and JIMO suddenly appeared out of thin air. There's much more to JIMO than what we're being told and it's not about science.

My attitude is that JIMO represents a basic enabling technology (NEP). They are probably building it for the wrong reasons. Never the less, I will resist the temptation to look inside this gift horse's mouth (it probably has a forked tongue).
