The flyby of 2014 MU69 is just part of New Horizons’ extended mission that runs through 2021. The spacecraft will perform more distant observations of dozens of other Kuiper Belt objects and also heliophysical studies.
Stern is optimistic that this extended mission will not be the last for New Horizons. The lack of features in the lightcurve of MU69, he said, means that the spacecraft won’t need to maneuver as much to optimize the flyby trajectory. “It doesn’t matter where in the rotation phase we show up,” he said. “We’re going to see about the same amount of terrain.
That frees up fuel reserves on the spacecraft, he said, that could be used to target another Kuiper Belt object flyby in a second extended mission that would run out to 2024 or beyond. “We are currently searching for new close flyby targets, and we have some very promising techniques” for doing so, he said. With the fuel reserves not needed for the MU69 flyby, “we have a fighting chance of having a second KBO flyby.”
There are also opportunities, he said, for additional remote observations of Kuiper Belt and other objects, distant observations of the giant planets, and heliospheric and even astrophysics studies using the spacecraft. “I think New Horizons has a bright future, continuing to do planetary science and other applications,” he said. “There’s fuel and power onboard the spacecraft to operate it for another 20 years. That’s not going to be a concern even for a third or fourth extended mission.” [1]
This is how business class works. Time is money, and for some people it is worth paying more money to save time. In the case of business class seats you save time because the passenger can go to work right when they get off the plane.
Only bosons, like the photon, have the same particle and antiparticle states
Hang on a minute. TFA mentions trying to measure whether anti particles fall or rise in gravitational fields. Presumably because if there is repulsion, then most antimatter will be long gone. But photons fall in gravitational fields, so has the question been answered?

You are presupposing that the women actually exist in the first place
Plenty of real women there. Take my word for it.

Doesn't one of the moons of Saturn have an equatorial mountain range, apparently caused by deposition in the plane of the equator only?
So maybe the larger lobe formed out of a disk of material which was deposited at the equator, and built the object up into this pancake shape.
The Emacs lisp interpreter is sort of a nosql database. It was built before nosql was cool.
Hang on Deckard nearly died fighting one of those.
Heinlein had them in "Space cadet" in the late 40s. Clarke had them in "Imperial Earth" in 1976.

The upshot seems to be there is no next target right now but they are looking for one and the vehicle is in good shape.
In Melbourne this would be a normal Saturday night with 300 Sudanese teenagers.
Due to channel congestion?
Also, bluetooth doesn't work on my phone at all when wifi is enabled.
Yeah it was 0.6g and > 1 earth atmosphere so terminal velocity was survivable.
Terminal velocity on Earth is 200 km/h, but I do wonder about using a small drag parachute to cut your speed at impact.
Slashdot on the other hand...
Atlassian are heading in the same direction but in a more passive-aggressive way.
I tried multiple times to apply for their advertised jobs but the job application software kept breaking.

But it would emit more if antimatter fell up.
That sounds very improbable.

Sorry, model; S.
I saw a model 3 yesterday with the following rego: OILLOL
I doubt that robots are directly coded anyway. Coders write the underlying control software, and a UI to train the robot.
