  • We Should Be Getting Pictures of Pluto Soon...

    Pretty crazy stuff. New Horizons is on it's way to Pluto. I believe this is the fastest spacecraft ever, having used gravitational pull of several planets in order to get a speed of 36,373 mph. Pretty good.

    After more than nine years of traveling through space the New Horizons spacecraft is now in the home stretch of its journey, with less than 120 days and 143 million kilometers to go before it makes its historic flyby of the Pluto system on July 14. It will be the first time we get a good close-up look at the distant world which had for over seven decades held reign over the frozen edges of our Solar System as the outermost planet, much like its namesake governed the cold darkness of the mythological Greek underworld.

        The real question is, when will tourists journey to Pluto.

            Watch there are inhabitants on Pluto that look like walking icicles.

              My guess is that Pluto will unleash its giant sticky tongue and eat the probe like a frog eating a fly.
