Looks like the decision to send a craft to Pluto has been made final. January 2006 has been set for the launch date. Pluto's atmosphere is expected to freeze around 2020, so this is the last chance to make any type of observations on the planet we will get until about 2200."

      You know, it only takes about 2 fucking seconds to look and see that the parent wasn't modded down. There are people who post at -1 you know. Of course, this post probably deserves to be modded up, but then non-homepage stories don't generally get a lot of moderator traffic.
