Chasing New Horizons

"There is a phrase from World War I describing warfare as 'months of boredom punctuated by moments of terror.' The same applies to long spacecraft missions. And it was a long and frankly terrifying hour as they awaited the hoped-for signal to return from New Horizons."

"The people who created this amazing mission of exploration chased their new horizons hard; they never let go of their dream; they put everything they had into it; and eventually they chased it down and accomplished what they set out to do."
