PLEASE READ
The New Horizons encounter with Pluto and its system of moons is a moment in space exploration history that all of us want to enjoy and share in the excitement. This includes all of the Forum Administrators and Moderators. As we did with other mission sections, we have tried to bring together a range of resources and frequently asked questions that members and guests can use to learn more about the mission. As everyone knows, UMSF endeavours to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio. We want to encourage everyone to find a way to 'contribute' to the discussion and make sure that we don't clutter the threads with unnecessary quoting, questions and endless repeats of answers. In the following pages we are going to try and compile a lot of the frequently asked questions, plus provide links to the abundant documents, references and websites that are available on the mission. The administrators and moderators know that there will be a lot of interest and inevitable speculation about images and the science being received from New Horizons - armchair exploration is what this Forum is known for - but we want to ensure that the information being posted is of the highest standards. Your positive contributions and support to the Forum during this busy and exciting time will ensure that we all can ride along through the Pluto system and travel to our own 'new horizons'. IMPORTANT NOTE The administrators and moderators will be keeping an extra close-eye on the discussion and will, if necessary, make some tough calls on comments and posts if we think they are breaching the rules or are adding to the 'noise' in any way. We will not hesitate to delete posts, close topics, warn or suspend members for obvious breaches. |
