What Next?

I wonder if we'll revisit Pluto in a shorter timeframe than the 28 years between the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER missions to Mercury.

Nothing beyond paper proposals has been done about another visit to either Uranus or Neptune. An orbiter to either planet would take the better part of 20 years to get there. That's difficult to do, when Congress can't think past four news cycles.
