I don't think they honestly expected them to be working at this point. They probably only did the calculations to get a trajectory to cover all the planets. I doubt any of the engineers planned on a 35+ year long project.
I wouldn't mind seeing them launch some probes with newer technology/cameras etc.

Theyre going to Jupiter and Saturn and their moons for detailed study.

It'll never happen. Too much time for the present "leadership" to axe the funding.

I'm more interested in the super duper rediculously large radio telescope network they are building in Australia NOW. A multitude of radio telescopes all networked together to form one large super telescope that will be able to see galaxies in large detail.

Hey boss, I just crashed the space router. I need to call the ESA and get a lift out so I can console in.

I have a Bluetooth console thingy that works up to 100 metres away (and through concrete walls within our office). You can buy an antennae to expand it up to 1000 metres. Wonder if they can expand on that further?
