You beat me to it. It is for this ISS dog-and-pony show that we gave up the SCSC. PHUI

I'm probably in a real minority here but I'd probably rather see an Europa unmanned ocean-drilling mission than a manned mission to Mars (certainly more than another manned mission to the Moon.)

I was completely disinterested in the ISS solar-panel repair mission - I can't quite get the mindset of people that are only interested in space if people are involved - what I care about is what is being discovered.

NASA is currently spending small sums experimenting with drilling units in Antarctica and whatnot, but there's no formal Europa mission scheduled - it's going to be a LOOOONG time before it happens.

I'd also like to see a Titan orbiter and another couple Titan landings with purpose-built larger landers or even rovers.
