With all of the great science that we have gotten out of both Galileo and Cassini, why hasn't there been more of an effort to launch flagship orbiters for Uranus and Neptune? As intriguing as Europa and Enceladus are with liquid oceans, I am disheartened to know that the extent of our knowledge for the ice giants are limited to the Voyager 2 fly-bys from 30 years ago. With Uranus and Neptune, we don't know what we don't know!
