Nice. These missions that tell us the basics about objects in the Solar System are more useful than, say, re-visiting the moon or Mars. Venus and Europa could use some attention. Anything underway? | ||||||||

All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landing there. | ||||||||

There is also NASA's upcoming mission to Titan, where they plan to fly an octocopter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly_(Titan_space_probe) | ||||||||

Apparently five Venus missions (DAVINCI, VERITAS, Envision, Venus Life Finder, and Venus Orbiter) all in the next five years or so: https://www.space.com/astronomy/venus/these-5-venus-missions... For Europa, Europa Clipper Mission (already on the way): https://science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/mission-time... ... and JUICE (already on the way): https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Juice There might be others, those are just what I found in a quick search. | ||||||||

Sample return from Venus is practically impossible with our current tech. | ||||||||
