    Ultima Thule!!

    They say they will be able to resolve objects the size of a schoolbus

    Ultima is 20 miles across.. a fairly large object as objects go in the solar system

    Thank god their funding didn't get cut at the last minute

    It is going to pretty cool.. supposed to see first image jan 2

    Not good enough - it's got to be on NY day proper to impress the impressionable. In fact I'd bet right now it will be, thanks to some unexpected feat of ingenuity in Mission Control.

    You read it here first?

    "A New Year’s space voyage to the end of the world"
