To Alan, John and all others from the NH team who might poke their heads into this space on occasion:
Jolly good show! I know that, even after the metal is cut, the wiring installed, the instruments tested, spun, shaken and jarred, and the whole thing taken out to the pad and attached to a monster of a rocket... it wasn't going to be REAL until that monster flung your baby on its way. Now it's real. New Horizons is on its way. Nothing, no one can call it back. As I write this, your baby is passing the Moon's orbit. It's flashing away from us faster than any other man-made object ever has. And yet, even as it leaves us, it takes us with it. Our hearts and our souls. And our enduring sense of wonder. Jolly, jolly good show!!! Now, let's go see what Pluto looks like! -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
