Shame it would has been a much bigger undertaking to supply the craft with enough fuel to allow New Horizons to slow itself into orbit....the craft may pick up speed as it slingshots around Pluto and out into Intersteller space.

Yep. I have a feeling that the type of clear, detailed photos that other probes have given us of Jupiter, Saturn and their moons isn't going to happen with Pluto. The fly-by is going to be quick, only about 2 hours, and then off to who knows where. After Pluto, the next Transneptunians that New Horizons might encounter are rocks only a few dozen miles across and a billion miles away,

The Joke is that Thomas Jefferson missed his chance to send a probe to Pluto last time the planets were aligned for it.

they will be visiting the Kuiper Beltway then then into the land of the Oort Cloudashians. and eventually to the good folks of Aldebaran in 4 million years....
