New Horizons is the spacecraft: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_HorizonsUltima Thule is a rocky relic in the Kuiper belt, at the fringes of our solar system: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/(486958)_2014_MU69 Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Lab & NASA executed their flyby today. All reports are that everything worked as planned and that the data loggers are full and downloading. [youtube]https://youtu.be/hW1rc-D3A5I[/youtube]

I'm a total dork. Been reading about this today. Also, the Chinese are landing a rover on the far side of the moon- a first. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science ... -dark-sideA really a neat time, especially with the commercialization of space travel. I suspect one of our children will be the first to walk on Mars.
