This is a one-sided perspective. Valuable, but far from the whole
picture. There's at least one string theorist blogging on the
cosmicvariance blog and many more string theorist commenters. Try
reading over time all of that (Peter Woit does comment on the
cosmicvariance blog occasionally too).

for Jupiter, to complement NASA's Juno mission. In twenty years there
might be multiple spacecraft in the Jupiter system.)
