man the amount of math, physics, and engineering that was done here is insane

[jillianc]

This brings back memories of all the excitement over the Pluto and Arrokoth flybys - good times! I hope the New Horizons team are able to find other Kuiper Belt objects to explore with the spacecraft's remaining fuel (which is supposed to be good until the 2030s).

Wow it brought tears to my eyes watching this

[aethellstan]

absolutely bloody fantastic. Love new horizons, what a mission.

Everything being said here can probably be compacted to 15 minutes but it's amazing how they stretch it out to hours of repetition and restating and rephrasing. Example: You can't aim at the planet directly, but a distance ahead. This small fact required shooting rounds in the air and a books worth of words. Amazing.

Ultima Thule does not mean 'beyond the fartherst frontier', it means litterally "the ultimate frontier".

[patricedechabot]

What you have realised is so immense !!!! Thank's much for this epic adventure ! The best was that your video is like a real thriller as you had to aim and shoot at the target a substantial time before you shot dead the killer behind the door... Bravissimo

[THETHPHANTOM]

the narrator reminds me so much of why i dont watch National Geographic anymore or TV for that matter.

[sudiptoatutube]
