Who cares about the origin, we should be more concerned about how it will end !!

So, 10 hours for the signal to reach us. I forgot for a moment that 12:33 is 0:33.

Although the flyby occurred at 12:33 a.m. ET on Tuesday, the spacecraft is so far from Earth that the phone-home signal didnt reach us until about 10:30 a.m. ET. 😎We got the signal before it was sent. You may want to refigure that.....12:33 a.m. = 33 minutes after midnight. 10:30 a.m. = 10 hours and 30 minutes after midnight........or 10 hours and 27 minutes AFTER the flyby and the signal was sent.

You get what you pay for.
Not always.
The Apollo mission cost roughly $25 billion.
For that, we got Tang and a bag of rocks.

r 10 hours and 27 minutes My own advice on refiguring.....9 hours 57 minutes.

Yeah, I actually read through that three times to make sure I wasn’t making a dumb mistake. Did it anyway.

Apollo was canceled because it was so expensive.
Now we spend the entire 12 years of the Apollo program on welfare payments every 90 days. And that is even adjusting for inflation.
Shows just how bad things have gotten.

Watching NASA live and got nothing more on this yet. Wonder what the hold up is? The space craft is 4 billion miles away. At that distance, the data transmission rate is about a 100 baud and is going to take over 20 months to download all the data.

I don’t think you can even get Tang anymore. Is it still around?

I was just wondering if the above distorted image is all we are going to get, or is a closer better image from the fly by yet to come?
I’m going by all the “watch new horizon picture it as it flies by live” headlines. lol

ok I looked it up on wiki. Tang predates the manned space program by a few years. Currently it is very successful around the world. I just don’t see it at my local supermarkets. Oddly its wildly popular during Ramadam. So its become a fave muzzie drink. Go figure. Maybe this is NASAs muslim outreach.
