Why aren't you excited for the New Horizons photographs of Pluto?

It'll be the first time that we'll get images of Pluto, and there are theories that there are some Earth-sized planets beyond Pluto's orbit! Actual planets, not like puny little Pluto! New Horizons will be the fifth space probe destined to leave our solar system. It's powered by plutonium (not sure if intentional pun...), so it can go on for ages. The four probes before it would be Voyagers 1 and 2, and Pioneers 10 and 11. I think 10 and 11. It might be 11 and 12, but I think it's 10 and 11.

Wouldn't it be something if we came across a planet that was not only inhabited, but that we realize has been watching us for centuries.

x'D Like instead of planets, all of the comets in the Kuiper belt have observatories on them so that they can watch them really close. Then they found out about Deep Impact and Philae and took the observatories off of the respective comets. xDDD

I'm seeing the movie playing out in my mind :). The beginning of the future!

That clicking sound from 67P? There's a reason why it sounds like Predators!

Who knows, the whole game could change in the blink of an eye!
