OT-: On the way to Pluto.

Of course, I was uneasy enough  40+ years ago about the "space

outer reaches of the solar system were of sufficient concern to
justify huge allocations of "defense" money.    After all this time I
still have the same question.

Believe it or not there are a few remaining people who don't know everything yet and still seek knowledge.

Hard to believe, huh?
