I think @NASAJPL missions are like the cathedrals and pyramids of our time.
Some take 2 or 3 generations over many excruciating decades to plan, design, fabricate, test, travel, do the actual science in location, return the results, and study them to plan the followup mission.

@iquilezles @NASAJPLn we manage to precision-beam communication at longer distance, which may enable much longer, interstellar missions…
Hey, my grand, grand, grand mother worked on the vehicle avionics. I am now working on Mission Control to monitor the telemetry pings as the probe approaches the destination! It’s like my ancestor is speaking to me.
