Following a peer-reviewed bridging proposal to NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and actions by Stanford and a private donor, the GP-B program has been extended at least through September 2008.

...and possibly through 2010? Without releasing any concrete information as to whether the current data set is consistent with General Relativity or not? This program is already more than forty years old - we could all die before anything concrete is published!
