Just a quite post-sep thread to say congratulations to Alan and the team, here's to a clean checkout and small TCM's smile.gif Many thanks for taking the time to share the experience to date with us here, your efforts are very much appreciated.

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!

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.

During the pre launch pressconference you told that the opening for the post Pluto trajectory was only 0.1 degrees. How much further will this open due to the fuel you saved ?
