I’m so racist, I didn’t even notice they were white. Or old. I just noticed they were kinda geeky.

They done harpooned a whale
And, technically, we were first with NEAR, but that was just cream on the coffee, and we didn't use a harpoon.

The probability increases as it gets closer to the Sun.

Thanks. So it was just the Speed of Light.

Next question:

While the congratulatory speeches were nice I was hoping for some video feeds.

Any idea what we will get to see and when?
