re: The image thing

Ulysses, Giotto, Hipparcos Mars Express were not producing instanteneous pictures (sometimes even none at all) but produced a lot of valuable data which matter for the long run.
A spacecraft that produces sounds and movies will certainly catch people's attention and imagination at the moment they're shown for the first time. What counts though is the legacy for the future.
