This brings to mind a moment in the movie Apollo 13, where one of the supporting characters says something to the effect of: "Leave it to NASA to make a moon landing boring". I think it says a lot of great things about NASA that people consider putting a satellite in orbit around Jupiter to be routine. Further great things from the fact that they really want NASA to stop being "boring" and invent some crazy new thing and push the boundaries of what humans think is realistically possible again - after all its been like a whole year since they blew our minds last time. All for the low price of ~.03 militaries. (Not including the fact that NASA does some stuff for the military...)
