Actually, the probe is going to Pluto by way of Jupiter...the idea is to use Jupiter's gravity to help the thing haul ass to Pluto. Forget what exactly the time savings that little trick of spacial physics was supposed to bring about.
Crap, I was away from the news sources today, I was wondering if they managed to get it up. Sorry to hear they didn't.
Anyone know when the next launch window is?
