Heck even if its boring, this is great practice for those more interesting places that will be harder to get at like those outer planet moons and my fave Venus (there's one for a tank-like probe that can survive the pressure, heat and acid content of its atmosphere...). As I say, much better than the martini fund or Hummer subsidies...
