Well, my first reaction to that is "why wait?  Cancel it now."  As I've
mentioned before, it makes me sick when I think how much interplanetary data
we might have had if we'd been able to launch anything since Voyager, as
contrasted to what scientific data we've got from the shuttle, which is
exactly zero.
