NASA hasn't decided which one of these options it will implement;
1.On to Planet Mongo (Flash Gordon)
2.Meet Worf's family on the Klingon Home World
3.Use New Horizons afterburners and get to catch up with Voyager2, tear off the greetings, message to aliens that shows the position of the Earth

Unless, I see a story about Pluto worth posting, this is the final post on Pluto.
New Horizons, may people from the planet Earth be fortunate enough get to meet you once again someday.

New Horizons has made contact with it’s all-clear. Can’t wait to see the close-ups of Pluto as well as see what other info is sent back.

Even if space was the size of your bathtub, it still wouldn’t be found.

Shameless plug moment....
My husband works at the NH plant that made this. Did not physically go to work today partly to avoid the “circus” that was set up for this event.

They need to send New Horizons to Pioneer 10 and 11 to pry off the plaques that show Pluto as the 9th planet in our solar system.

“sailing by” might be the best among the numerous inadequate metaphors.

The first batch of new data from the flyby will start to arrive on Earth at 2:32 a.m. Wednesday, and it will include the highest-resolution images taken by the spacecraft, when it was less than 7,800 miles from Pluto's surface. Well, when are they going to put them up? I'm on pins and needles.

Will they fly by planet Xena and her moon Grabrilla?
