And it looks like New Horizons is going to launch today... currently on a ten-minute hold(?) in its countdown, new launch time 13:50 EST, 10:50 PST, 18:50 GMT.

New Horizons' Results: Flowing Ice, Haze, and Mysterious Plains on Pluto
Nature World News - Brian Stallard - 7/25/15

A little more than a week after the intrepid New Horizons made its brief
but historic rendezvous with our solar system's favorite dwarf planet,
NASA is already revealing some stunning images and data from Pluto's surface.
Now, NASA experts are saying that the protoplanet is more exciting
and more mysterious than they ever expected.

Below is NASA's news conference that runs over an hour and a half.
But the best geek-time is from the 40 minutes from 30:00 --> 1:07

Little G and I caught a live presentation on this at the Museum of Science in Boston. Amazing science.

The launch as seen from my office, yesterday. Certainly a fast mover -- the Atlas was above the treeline and out of sight in well under ten seconds!
