If the U.S. government suddenly announces $1 Billion in new research to be given to one of the categories above, and yours wins, I assume most of the projects it is used for would be like the ones in this article.
On the other hand, $1 Billion on solar system research could fund 2 projects similar to the Titan Mare Explorer
When projects like MARE can't even get funding, it makes me think we are spending too much on life sciences. Let private industry figure out whether shrimp can run on treadmills.
