I was watching as the “phone call” came in and was happy the little spacecraft got through unscathed.
Can’t wait to see the close-ups and see what other info New Horizons sends back.
We watched the SCI channel all evening, with the programs about the previous missions; Rosetta, etc, waiting for the program. Did you hear the self-serving tweet by Obama? He congratulated the New Horizons team, and the national ‘leadership’, meaning himself, of course, even though he hadn’t even begun his run for the Presidency when the mission was actually launched.
