Here’s an interesting little bit of news. New Horizons in in the homestretch and is now within 10 AU of Pluto. ... and from the back seat for the last 100 million miles it's been, "Are we there yet?".

2015 launched in 2006. Haulin ass too. About 10 miles per second.
I was confused for a few. I couldn’t figure out why the round trip light time was going down until I realized that we are moving around to the same side of the sun.
