The new Solar System Exploration Roadmap for NASA's Science Mission Directorate is now available on the LPI's website:<br /><br />http://www.lpi.usra.edu<br /><br />or at<br /><br />http://www.lpi.usra.edu/vexag/road_map_final.pdf (<b> Warning! 6+ MB file!</b>)<br /><br />The Roadmap defines recommendations for the exploration of the solar system to bodies other than the Moon and Mars over the next 30 years, and is drawn for a 30-year planning horizon, against the backdrop of the Presidential Initiative "The Vision for Space Exploration," and provides flexibility by offering a number of distinct scenarios that will meet the science goals with staggered project initiation dates. <br /><br />Jon <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em> Arthur Clarke</p> </div>
