How would U rate NASA's next 10yr mission plans..?..from 1-100..?

Question

I give them a ... 15 ....
http://www.nasa.gov/missions/future/index.html
.
2 more rovers for Mars (would be exciting ....if they ever found something of significance). this last rover (curiosity) seems way less interesting than the spirit rover and its twin...
and I'm sorry but if there not going to ever finish the James Webb why do they still yammer on about it like we haven't been waiting for it for the last 15 (if not longer) years.
Maybe it's just me but I was not impressed with the Spitzer telescope.... Example...Anyone here heard of the Spektr-R telescope..?..1000+ more powerful than Hubble..? Yet hardly anyone has heard of it since it's launch... The Spektr is a radio wave telescope and the James web will be inferred...  there's the kicker radio waves propagate way better than inferred... yet hardly anything has been heard of this telescope...any ideas why...
Is it just me or does it seem like NASA is having trouble with new ideas..

The 2016 mission is not a rover, but a stationary lander. 

I think there should be more focus on the
moons of the gas giants, but of course Mars is a lot easier to reach and also an objective for future manned missions.

Commercializing the ISS vehicles is a neat idea, while NASA can focus on Orion spacecraft and bring astronauts beyound the low-Earth-orbit for the first time since Apollo.

10 out of 100, I want...
- A Lander on Europa
- An AI Rover on Europa
- A Drill probe on Europa 
- A lander on Titan
- An AI rover on Titan
- Impact probes for Jupiter and Saturn to analyze the atmospheres
- A Floating device on Venus (A rover attached to a big balloon)
- A floating device on Jupiter to analyze the upper atmosphere 
- Building a large (1,000+ people) space station

Those are my ideas of cool space missions

It's all about money.

If they were given 10 billion dollars a year you would see a lot being done. As it stands now it's minimal science. 

They should create an international Space agency and put their heads and money together and get some real science done. we could be on mars within 10 years with such an effort.

i'm going to be in Houston this weekend and that i be attentive to a pair astronauts, yet i do no longer think of they are going to decide for it. after all, if the teapot particularly is there, we gained't use it as a metaphor for god(s).
