“OK. Pluto. Been there done that now.
What’s next?”
We have Pioneer 10, Voyager 1 and 2, and now New Horizons - after it finishes anything Pluto system, next year, all on thier individual trajectories outbound, through the ‘bubble’ at the end of the Sun’s influence of our solar system, into pure interstellar space, and all are still operating, sensing, and sending info back.
We still have a probe getting to Ceres, to explore and analyze as New horizons is doing now.
We are in the process of putting together the Orion manned spacecraft, with Mars as the destination, hopefully, in time for me to witness the launch before ‘the game is called’.
The Mars vehicles are still operating, and sending back findings.
Ad Astra!!
Done with Pluto, New Horizons will drift in endless sea of space
