    Easily the most exciting mission IMO of this decade. Imagine all the things
    we will see. And the best part is that like the recent fly by of Mercury
    seen by Curiosity from Mars it will be a first. We are living these moments.

    These guys are right, a planet/dwarf whatever it will be named after more
    research, that is so small yet has so many moons, especially Charon. And
    Hubble’s images brought even more questions to than answers.

    Funny thing, as a kid whenever i imagined Pluto for me it would be an icy
    world with thick ice storms and the like. And yet it’s red. What secrets
    does it hold? Or it’s moons?

    I cannot wait for next year to roll out. Super excited.?

    I can’t wait for the first public images!?

  • Dean Goldbaum Says:

    Does a satellite like this use compressed gas to steer? if so how does it
    not run out??

  • orlinnelson Says:

    I can’t wait!! I’ve been following this since its launch! ?

  • Brenden Joey Says:

    Just a fly by? I thought it was going to orbit it. Where is new horizons
    going to go after that? Im guessing it will exit the solar system and not
    be used again? ?

  • CaptureRapture Says:

    I have always wondered how on Earth they direct a satellite and send images
    back from THAT far, anybody care to enlighten me? Amazing stuff, can’t
    wait!?

  • Patrick Festa Says:

    very soon?

    Maybe they will start calling it a planet again. That is awesome to be
    going that far. ?

    So we can see the beginning of the universe but we can’t get a good picture
    of Pluto? ?

  • jack tick Says:

    Can’t wait.?

  • Love Everlasting Says:

    Pluto bring us destruction, and by gods will within us we’ll create a new
    beginning. Those who are apparent of the synchronicity, may we prepare for
    that glorious moment. Look to Pluto and behold another reflection of truth.?
