    Not to take anything away from the sentiment you've expressed, but don't forget how long ago this probe was launched.

    America doesn't "have the balls" to do anything like this anymore either.

    That said, I personally consider it to be an astounding achievement that the entire race can be proud of.

    we have to thank the US for pouring so much of it's investment into

    Yeah, it's so much more important than sustainable food production so most humans have enough to eat and drink; so much more important than shelter and sanitation; so much more important than renewable non-polluting energy sources. Yay US.

    I'm not even going to mention the absurd military budget or why it's there.
