Given the uncertainties in mission design and cost, as well as the many other outer solar system missions that might utilize nuclear reactor technology to address important scientific priorities, NASA's best near-term strategy may be to consider JIMO as one of several reference missions for establishing the requirements and guiding the development of advanced power and propulsion technologies until such time as JIMO's responsiveness to the scientific priorities for the exploration of Europa ant} the other Galilean satellites can be assessed.

The document generally achieves a consistent level of detail within the various theme sections, although the SEU theme was overly specific in its discussion of missions and mission details (box on page 46~. In adclition, one of the most profound astrophysical discoveries of the last decacle was evidence for dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the universe, which are not yet explained in terms of fundamental physics and are noted as leacling questions in the Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos report.~7 This discovery is so important that the Board believes it deserves mention in the list of"grand questions" in the opening paragraphs of the SEU theme.
