That Is a bummer, however (if you aren't already aware) we do still have Europa Clipper to look forward too from NASA. It's launched already but still a bit of a wait till the main science begins in 2030.

Hopefully it's a very successful mission and we can learn a lot of new information and science about Europa. I absolutely love space competition between countries because space is fascinating and I want to learn and see all I can before I die, so I want every country to keep pushing and impressing the world. Trying to one up each other on new missions and their goals.
