Great picture - however - Im all for (unmanned) space exploration, but for $700 million is that all we get? Dude, it's PLUTO.
There are 320 million people in this country. That staggeringly phenomenal photograph, and all the others to follow that will be much higher resolution, and the massive amount of scientific data collected outside of photographs - this entire, incredible scientific and technological triumph, cost you $2.19.
Deal with it.

Is it Klingons or Cling-ons?
I get confused when I laugh too much!

Oh, no, this photo is not from 7800 miles - from much farther out taken on the approach. We will not start getting the photos from the closest approach until sometime tomorrow and the full data download taken in highest resolution will not be completed until October 2016 (yes, 2016, not 2015) as the download speed is about 1k (as in...a very, very slow dial-up modem).
To: Hot Tabasco
So you have a problem with the Apollo moon landing missions, the Skylab space station and later the Space Shuttle?
I was fine with all the space programs up until the Challenger fiasco.
In fact, I was so taken with the original programs like Mercury and Gemini, I used to cut school to watch the launches.
The space program in it's entirety has proven that man's future is here on Earth. If you think I'm wrong, you pay to prove it.

These images are not from the flyby.
They are 36 hours old and are from hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Meaningless, trivial nonsense with zero impact to the everyday taxpayer. The lists also presuppose that the "findings and inventions" would not have been discovered via other means.
In contrast, Dr. Jonas Salk spent 3-4 years and NO public money to create the polio vaccine.

Yeah, and 47% are getting some kind of gubmint support so your "per citizen" cost is BS.
What you can't deal with is the fact that trillions of dollars (and 17 dead astronauts) later, there's nothing out there.

It looks like it has crystals growing into mountains, doesn’t look normal mountain formations.
I think this is even cooler than if they were formed by volcanos on earth.
Makes me wonder what they are made of? What if they are hydrate containing oxygen trapped within the crystal.
Exciting pics!

Does anyone know what race of ancient astronauts built all those pyramids, canals, and other ruins we see on the surface of Pluto? They must have been real sophisticated.
