Full title: What to expect when you're expecting a flyby: Planning your July around New Horizons' Pluto Pictures (version 2)

A month old, but lots of good info and links.

Most discouraging for the gee-whiz crowd (me definitely included) is that images don't have the highest priority. By my reckoning, we're not going to be able to see it all until sometime next January! :-(

The fact that we’re seeing close-up images of Pluto AT ALL is still mind-bogglingly amazing!

It is absolutely inspiring to me that we puny humans can send a probe billions and billions (thanks Carl) of miles away to take pictures of these distant planets. Even more astounding that we can actually land a probe on a comet that is tumbling millions of miles a day.

AND YET, the libs will still complain about it because the project manager wore a shirt adorned with sexy girls.
