Camacha Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I intentionally slept through the livestream of the flyby this morning because I thought it was a bit contrived, but I saw all the hype this morning. What surprises me is that there's so little hype surrounding this imminent data link? For me, this is where the rubber meets the road. Fingers crossed that we receive the signal on schedule and that New Horizons is healthy.It makes for an interesting discussion which is the actual event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camacha Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Said they were just going to basically verify that it's ok, then go back to doing science while they can.I wondered about this. Would it not be better to leave the checkup and get all the data you can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
