re: #16 ObserverArt

Did I hear the all the images New Horizons is taking will take months to download?

If that is so, I wonder how the images they are showing fall in the order of images taken. Are they stored on some kind of hard drive and NASA can go through and take one or two out of sequence?

Just the fact they can communicate with something like this probe still blows my mind. Having it send down images is icing on the cake.

I still get light headed when I think of all the rapid changes in science and technologies since WW2.

The probe is 10 years old. They’re stored on BetaMax.
