I’m so happy that the space program is still being funded, this mission looks fascinating.

I wish! It has been left unmolested since 1986, and the last and only time when it was probed, it was a very brief affair. We should do it more often.

The planned flights aren’t very long duration, but it’s amazing that it will fly at all.
