Just when you think humans are too stupid to live, they actually do something worthy.

Thanks for this James. I sure hope it gets the publicity it deserves in general media.

Thanks James! This was absolutely breathtaking! I actually felt goosebumps!

There can never be enough being done in space, in my opinion. My only gripe with this mission is that it's just one probe rather than hundreds or thousands. The rest of the world needs to start looking and reaching up; maybe we'll learn how to take better care of ourselves if we do.

 

edit - help, where did this indent come from and how do I get rid of it lol

You kids will grow up knowing the faces of all the planets.

 

I had to wait

There was a special on the National Geographic channel last night and I'm sure there will be more over the next 16 months, as new pictures are sent back.  They were also talking about similar sized dwarf planets they've seen beyond Pluto and expect to be studying them, along with many comets and asteroids in the Kuiper Belt.  It should be a fun, interesting and informative time.

The article I read yesterday about this said that there's a renewed push to reinstate Pluto as a planet. I doubt it'll get anywhere, but it's certainly amazing to finally know more about the place. The article in today's newspaper indicated that it appears Pluto is geologically active -- they were surprised by not only the lack of impact craters, but also what appears to be a new mountain range. It's good to see that there are still things to surprise and entice us.

To go boldly where no one has gone before...

Our next step Out There will be found in the CERN Large Hadron Collider or its more advanced version in New Mexico.
I feel we may be close to discovering the full quantum nature of gravity. Once we have learned this we will be able to understand space-time contouring...the twists and turns in the fabric of reality!

 

Exciting times.

Uhh... they released a new photo of Pluto... the previous one was out of focus but this one is perfectly in focus...

 

 

Time for a new arms race!

Maybe we could get more funding if we get Dr. Oz to promote it as a weightloss system
