We've been down this road before - several years ago. I'm not having that debate again. It's improving, but only in some areas and a long way still to go. Clearly there is a problem when a thread like this has cause to exist.

Interloper is perhaps the wrong word - MARSIS and SHARAD are both European lead instruments - so SHARAD doesn't fit in the same mould as the other, US based instruments onboard MRO w.r.t. results, publishing and outreach.
