Polls > Pluto to be Probed; Should We Probe Uranus?
From Bloomberg:
NASA's mission to Pluto lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in coastal Florida today on a planned nine-and-a-half-year mission to visit the farthest known planet in the solar system.
The grand piano-sized New Horizons spacecraft was carried aloft on a Lockheed Martin Corp. Atlas V rocket at about 2 p.m. local time at Kennedy Space Center. The launch under partly cloudy skies was broadcast live on television.
