    I’m amazed it’s that cheap. Really puts a different perspective on dollar amounts I read in headlines if look at them in terms of how many missions to titan it could have been.

      I’m sure it will be triple the price, but even then it is still cheap.

        It’s already triple the price. The original budget for the mission was on the order of a billion dollars, it was a New Frontiers mission and missions of that class aren’t supposed to go over that limit.

        I appreciate the science NASA manages to get done, but there is something seriously wrong with that agency’s budgeting process and has been for decades.

    Wow a launch date of 2028 is way closer than I had initial hope for!

      Expect it to slip quite a bit. That seems very optimistic to me. I would have said at least eight years, plus delays.

    I’d love to see new images from the surface of Titan.
