I've been hearing about this project by the Planetary Society for some time, and it looks like they're getting closer to launching again.

If so, it will be another first for aerospace. It is, of course, a private project. Government Space Agencies need get their rears in gear if they want to keep justifying their budgets. The only remaining province is the super-expensive long range missions. and lets hope a private group announces to do that as well. bring the costs down, I need off this rock.
