So tonight at 1230 AM the New Horizons probe will be flying by 2014 MU-69 or Ultima Thule is the Kuiper Belt. This is the furthest point any body in the solar system has been explored. I look forward to seeing the pictures of it. Forget a stupied ball drop. I will be watching the NASA live feed. That's my new years celebration.
Fleet Admiral of the U.S.S. ATTILA KHAN-CDA (NX-921911).

    Well, the craft survived the flyby, and early pics have been received. The good stuff should start coming out in February, though.

    Technically they're going where no robot has gone before, either. :tongue:

    Johns Hopkins University did a livestream of it, for those interested in pretty pictures.

    EDIT: Updated post with time index where something actually happens. In case it doesn't work, it's at 20:50 or thereabouts.

    Okay, I vote to name it Frosty. It has a dual meaning...

    Or we can name it Beowulf!
    Snowman!
