NASA's new budget increase was not only approved by congress but they also authorized another $700 million dollars on top of what the administration requested. This budget is $1.3 billion more than the last budget and one of the major goals for early 2020s is to get to Europa AND land a craft on it.

"We are going back into space with Americans on American rockets, and we are going to Mars," Senator Bill Nelson said yesterday.

That's good news as I read somewhere that the government were getting nervous about going to Mars. Looks like that's back on track then.
