Hey, this is different; thanks, Alan!
I'm a bit amazed that the third stage also completed the Jupiter gravity assist and is only separated from NH by a few hundred miles at this point; hadn't really thought about that before. Makes me wonder if something like a "PCROSS" mission would be possible someday (not that I see any value from that, but it's interesting to think about.) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Eyeballing that graph I'd say the current distance is something like 0.3 AU. -------------------- |
