Where do you see NASA going? By this, I mean, better funding and better missions, or cuts to funding for certain sectors, and not as many missions? What are your thoughts on future missions, such as the Mars mission/s, and/or the unmanned missions to both Jupiter and Uranus?

Does it ever worry you that the current administration (love it or hate it), might completely defund NASA? If this were to happen (God forbid), do you imagine that the public would step in to help fund it through donations?

Do You think that we will find life on Europa? If not, where would we send our next Probes/Rovers? It comes to me as a concern that if we do not find life on Europa, the average American would see the mission as a flop, even though NASA would still be collecting extremely valuable information about the Moon. Do you think that not being able to find even microbial life on Europa might discourage future Presidents, and members of congress to continue to fund NASA, or any other space agency? If so, where do we take it from there? If not, what are your views as to how the general public will react?

Also, because I forgot to ask, any future plans in place that you are allowed to discuss as to mission/s to either Pluto or Mercury? Any other Planets, Moons, or Asteroids?
