Say what you will about NASA, it is about time that NASA is doing something. Yes I know we have a deficit, however NASA is worth the investment in which we all benefit.

The US Navy and nuclear propulsion go together. Good choice, NASA.

JIMO mission has strongly advocated to NASA -- as a top science priority -- that the spacecraft carry a Europa Surface Science Package (EESP) dedicated to astrobiology.

Anyone have any details for EESP?

Only people who hate humanity want it forever to remain on this little bullseye in the inner solar system. Let's start exploring. It's time.

I say you get the Navy to handle the entire project. NASA can read about in in the post.

An early target for the collaboration is a space-rated nuclear reactor for the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) mission.

Wonder what ORSE workup will be like?

about bloody time.
they should go further, and plan to use submariners on longrange manned probes.
