New Horizons mission to Pluto

[Doug Luurs]

Aye .. Reason it's headed for Jupiter is to 'shave' off 3 years on the
flight time to
Pluto .. Damm .. Science and the Slingshot theory is getting better all
the time.

On a side note .. Stardust is back and boy .. That was a prefect
mission.
Hoping to get into Stardust at home when it starts in the spring.
