Europeans propose probing Uranus - Spock - 02-17-2014
European astronomers are arguing for an ambitious twin-probe mission to Neptune and Uranus with a launch date of 2034.

It may be 20 years in the future but I hope they are successful.

I hope they start in Florida

What is a "good fist"?

Yes, but first the Klingons circling Uranus will need to be removed.

Glad it's ur's and not mine.

I'm going to pass up the cheap jokes... too easy...
With a flight date of 2034, they'd be looking at an arrival between 2044 and 2050 - Uranus and Nepture are a LONG trip!
I'd say, step up the planning and building, and get them on their way sooner. But that's just me.

Actual source paper here (pdf). This is a 'case proposal', not a project plan.

Also technically 'astrophysicists' , cosmologists, and planetary scientists, not 'astronomers'. But most folk don't know the difference.

That joke cost me $1.80
not cheap

Wonder how much delta-V a Falcon Heavy would provide for an interplanetary probe. Yes, it'd also depend on the top stage booster, but still...
