Like everyone else, let me say congratulations to the entire NH team. Amazing. Dramatic, beautiful, and with just enough tension to make the whole process a real nailbiter.
I also think this was an excellent job of outreach, everything from Alan's appearances on this board to the signature disk. I took more than a couple of skeptics and had them excited after running upstairs and printing out a quick certificate proving that their name was going in to space. Thanks and congratulations! --Nick |

Thanks and congratulations! --Nick  Thanks to all of you for being interested and for your good wishes. New Horizons is operating flawlessly, and it looks like the Atlas gave us an almost perfect injection, with the consequence being that we will have far more fuel for KBO exploration than we had planned for in our nominal models. More later. Thanks again to all. -Alan |

Congratulations to Alan, John and others involved who might be lurking here.
I also want to mention that it is great to have someone from the NH team active in this forum - thanks to Alan and John for lots of interesting postings here. Hopefully everything works during cruise and the Jupiter/Pluto/KBO flybys. I'm already looking forward to the Jupiter flyby. (and I'm definitely not going to complain about the fact that I was extremely unproductive for several hours last Thursday  ).
