A Sight Never Seen by Human Eyes is Coming

Interesting fact......New Horizons is the only spacecraft that has ever been accelerated to solar escape velocity by the launch vehicle alone.

That reminds me of the classic "Twilight Zone" episode I Shot an Arrow into the Air

Too funny. NASA/JPL would pretty much shut their doors after that... .

xkcd always includes mouse-over text. This one reads, "Last-minute course change: Let's see if we can hit Steve's house."

It's coming. Don't feel bad, I can't get any pictures to post on here either. I think it should look similar to Triton. Triton is believed to be a Kuiper Belt object captured by Neptune's gravity. I'm staying up to date on it.

Yeah, what's the deal with the pics? I uload them and they show up in my library, but when I click to upload a pic into a post all I get is a blank window. Haven't been able to set an avatar for five years now either. WTF ATS?!

Doesn't work for me either. I see very few pictures on here, so maybe it's some kind of special privilege.
