Talk about a long shot that takes forever.. Thanks!

How the heck they don’t bump into something out there is beyond me.

These “lesser” missions do help with the wait.

Pluto is still a planet in my book and definitely exciting to get a first look even if I do have to wait 9 years. That’s a hell of a ride.

It’s really hard to imagine how vast and empty space is. :) Just a few hydrogen atoms per square meter. If you were smack in the middle of the asteroid belt, you would not likely see an asteroid for years at a time.
