From the #LPSC 'NASA Night' youtube.com/watch?v=Ns4sVQ81Di a list of the next #CLPS missions: NASA will have more Stereo Cameras for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies (SCALPSS) on #BlueOrigin's HLS test lander. They also reported superb results from #BlueGhost with 6 of the NASA experiments already completed and the remainder being done once the hot noon is over. Not much came out of #Athena, obviously, and they're still trying to make contact with the Lunar Trailblazer - no indication of the hope level ...

Can anybody comment on the status of the Venus #Veritas mission? I am failing to put the news I'm getting from #LPSC into the right context. AFAIK the mission is delayed and funding was held back, but is the mission at risk of being completely cancelled? That would be a giant setback and very sad. I know, this is not your specific field of expertise, but @vicgrinberg do you have a take on this?

The Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (#LPSC) has been held in #Texas since 1970 when the first results from the #Apollo11 mission were presented. This year will be the last in Texas, and the organizers are searching for a new location.

This abstract "Ethics in choosing a meeting location" describes some of the issues that should be considered. "Is Texas safe for all members of our community? Unfortunately, the answer in 2023 is NO, they are not."
