"Leave the switch in the on position"
"Come on! This is such a small increase, for a new science opportunity."
"We need to keep our eyes on the stars, lest we rot in the gutter"
"I was mystified to note that no imaging would take place on the projovian side of Io, and that no SSI imaging of Amalthea would be undertaken either. Can this valuable science be saved? I hope so!"
"It would be senseless to not allow as much data to be gathered by Galileo as possible considering the many hurdles this mission has had to clear. It would be sadly ironic if no images were gathered from Galileo's last close passage to Io, as happened duri"
"I think continued funding of the space program is vital to our security and well being."
"NASA: penny wise, pound foolish."
"Not funding remote sensing during I33 is simply penny wise and dollar foolish. "
"I support all points made above. I strongly believe that, spending some extra money now (for a good reason), will be equivalent to saving a lot of money for the future! "
"Remote sensing on this last pass would be worth the effort."
"I am a astro artist and I would support my tax dollars going to all the imaging we can get--if you are already there, why be cheap? What's a few more dollars for some very worthwhile info?"
"Nasa needs to get their priorities straight,, this will be one of their last chances to image Io in a long time."
"It is a tragedy to waste the I33 "
"I think that the $600k required to "
