  If metals were a great store of value, great granddad's ounce of silver would still be worth the 2 or 3 days labor.  You keep the silver, I'll take all that worthless fiat currency you can spare ...

  The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs cost about $25 billion, and that was in 1960's dollars.  For all that money, and a decade of work, we got a few hundred pounds of moon rocks and dust.  However, as a direct result of the research and development done to allow those journeys, we transformed the modern world in ways never imagined, to include GPS, improved satellite and land-based communications and many new materials which are in daily use today, not to mention the revolution in computing power and electronics caused by the need to miniaturize electronic instrumentation and computers on board the ships.  The total value of the spin-off technologies of our earlier endeavors in space is likely in the tens, if not hundreds of trillions of dollars, a pretty good ROI in anyone's estimation ...

  Good articles.  I imagine the limited bandwidth is due to conserving power, after all the thing runs on a battery, and even the energizer bunny slows down after 3 billion miles and over 9 years ...

At 186280 miles/second, light takes about 4.47 hours to travel 3 billion miles, the approximate distance to Pluto.  Radio waves don't always propagate at the same speed as light, but because most of the distance is through free space, the signals from the Pluto probe should traverse the distance at lightspeed, at least until reaching the Earth's magnetosphere.  There are however specific broadcast "windows"  which act to delay the signals from being transmitted from the craft except at optimum times ...

  To see an aurora this far south you are going to have to find a very dark area.  Look into the sky on a clear night with no moon, allowing your eyes time to acclimate fully to darkness.  What you will see won't look anything like the auroras you saw in Canada, or commonly pictured in books, websites, etc., but will look more like a very diffuse "tint" to the night sky.

It's highly unlikely we will see anything more than a hint of color in the sky, that's about all you can expect at these latitudes ...

  A good read.  It was always cool to hear former pilots of the Blackbird tell stories of outrunning SAM missiles, in over 1000 attempts to shoot one down, no missile ever got close to it ...
