james_nicoll...I know the projects will move forward as fast as they will and no faster. The pace still annoys me.
Anyway, a happier note to go along with news about Chang'e 3, Mangalyaan and Yutu: ESA's Gaia astrometry mission is going to launch in less than five days. I'm looking forward to the future consequences for mapping out our galaxy, particularly as the range of accurate measurement is expected to extend out to 30,000 lightyears from Sol.
(Trekkers, Babylon 5 fen, Legion of Super-Heroes and Green Lantern Corps fandoms: please take note!)
If you want to keep an eye on its progress, the Gaia mission has a blog of its own.
