Does this mean that the Pluto fast-flyby mission concept has been shelved? It's good they'll be able to spend more than a few minutes in the vicinity, but if they get there after the atmosphere freezes out for the next century or so, it'll be slightly less interesting.

Better make sure you bring plenty of popcorn --

and air, water, medical supplies, food, greenhouse system, spare parts, radiation shield, books, communications equipment. It'll take years to get to Pluto.

Oh. Caveat. No return trip is available!

And a really good RF link back to Earth so you can post on FR. :-)

I wonder when the Keck will be imaging Pluto with it's full adaptive optics and interferometer setup? They should be able to get some decent surface shots by now.

LOL!!! I have been told more than once here on FR that since I worked for NASA, I was just a fancy welfare recipient anyway. :-)
