Mysterious black box: I wonder what was censored above Pioneer 10 & below Ganymede in the lower right corner?

Must be an alien space station.

Only 200 missions in 50 years? Why does it seem that number should be higher? That's not hit against NASA and others, they really are making the mot of their missions if we have only done 200 and learned all that we have.

@TimMighty: Cunningly concealed at the end of the second paragraph, the words "giant, full-sized map here" are actually the link to a giant, full-sized map.

The dark purple of a link doesn't always provide the best contrast with the black article text, so it's not surprising you missed it.
