Karl Gebhardt is a cosmologist now? Will wonders never cease....
Eric is interesting choice.
The JDEM program still looks like a train wreck. Need I tell them that the science is shaky and "dark energy" doesn't exist? From your posts it looks like JDEM may lose anyway.
Well, no you don't need to tell them that.
To this group Dark Energy is The Hot Topic, and deep type Ia searches and strategies for measuring the effective equation of state of negative energy density fields are a very high priority.
The overall sense is that JDEM has a good chance of jumping the queue (and further that SNAP will be the concept selected for JDEM); although the case is not yet been fully made and the competing missions are not giving up.
