Just thought I'd add some pics, hope they aren't too big.

I'm old enough to remember reading about the first planetary explorations. I remember reading how the first probes to Venus landed, and then reported back "Holy Mackerel, it's hot down here!" then silence. Oh well, our Aurthur C Clark vision of exploring and inhabiting Venus first-hand faded.

Wishing them luck on the Pluto encounter. (It's still a planet in my book!)

P.S. This is the good stuff in life, much better than the silly fighting and squabbles we humans often dabble in. This is a true achievement.
