Pluto Pics...
http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/15/tech/p...ure/index.html
This is mind blowing to me. That this thing can send pictures from Pluto, which it took 9 years to get there...I don't even understand how that's possible... awesome. July they say they'll get some high quality pictures back when its much closer. |

Those are the best and brightest. Most other areas of the federal government is not necessarily the best and brightest, especially congress.
