Abstract :

The three �W� questions for future satellite missions are addressed: When, Where and Why. This topic is discussed in terms of the current needs of the inhabitants of planet Earth and the lessons learnt since the days of Ned Ludd. The technological developments and our new capabilities are critically assessed with Gaia in mind.
