Yes I agree it would !
I think if I remember correctly it will launch this Oct but we will not get any results till 2030 because it has to sling shot around Mars then Earth to get enough speed to get there by 2030!

One of the few places in the solar system where life could exist. Certainly hope the mission is a success.
