A bit of a Disappointment!
After Pluto I suppose one could not expect much more, but then our curiosity drives us to see what is out there beyond the known planets?
The Kuiper belt may yet show us things that we do not expect to see in this region of what is claimed to be primordial Space, thus objects left after the creation of our Solar system?
But who really knows what this part of space is all about and what is beyond it in the Ort cloud! Distances here are enormous and one does not know how many more objects are on the cards for this probe before it runs out of fuel?
What one hopes for is that another probe will be sent to Pluto to stay there for some time studying it and perhaps even sending a robot to the surface of it or even to Charon?
