It’s gonna be a fast launch craft! It'll be past the moon in 9 hrs and to Pluto in 2015! That is FAST!
I don't think we realise quite how fast.

If it arrives on 16th Jan 2015, in 78840 hours, and Pluto is at closest 2,700,000,000 miles away, then that rocket is doing:
34246 miles per hour
571 miles per minute
9.5 miles per second

I wonder how much things will have changed by 2015?

If you can keep your head when all around are loosing theirs...you probably haven’t grasped the situation!!

You’re just jealous because the voices are talking to me.

Hopefully there will be quicker space ships by then and we can all buy space tickets to differents planets, in our solar system at least. (Yeah, dream on... )
