It really does drive home the mystery of life and how inconsequential are the things we agonize over

FIFY

I think one of the super cool things is that some ashes from the guy who 'discovered' Pluto are onboard.

Makes me appreciate the amazing things humankind is capable of.  When you think about it, we were put on Earth with dirt, rocks, water and some plants and animals and from that we evolved to the point that we could build something that could be sent to Pluto and take close pictures and send them back here.

There's a good video yesterday with plenty of humor with Stephen Colbert interviewing Neil Tyson DeGrasse on the pluto photos.

Pluto is 7.5 BILLION kms from Earth. The scale of space exploration is epic.
