The NASA Roadmap and NRC Decadal Survey emphasize that the baseline mission to explore the outer heliosphere -- "Interstellar Probe" -- is very exciting; however, its success requires significant technical developments, especially in the propulsion area. The recent NASA/OMB decision to seek funding for nuclear propulsion does not change the timetable for Interstellar Probe, but does indicate a higher probability that such a mission can be accomplished.
