The first wave of haiku from lunch. I watched a bit of the live NASA TV this morning and all these scientists, so proud and excited like little kids, waiting til tonight when they’ll know that New Horizons will communicate with them again. The program director said it was like raising a kid to their teens, you have to trust that you’ve prepared them for this moment when they have to be on their own, but that it will be ok.
So glad to see you
each photo met with applause
Pluto, looking good!this small creamy orb
polished and perhaps scuffed up
wave hello, pluto!We didn’t know you
so far away, uncertain
one of nine, PlutoBecause we’re human
we go boldly to explore
and look at Plutonine years, a short time
in the universal scheme
roadtrip to Pluto
This is exciting. I had heard starting around four they would know more. 9 p.m. Good.
