When you see a Change.org petition to save the New Horizons program that isn't likely to do anything but you spam it all over Lemmy anyway because you love Pluto so damn much (sopuli.xyz)

I'm confused here. Are you implying that funding the New Horizons probe will achieve more Pluto science? Because it's long past Pluto and will never be able to study that object again.

It could study other Kupier belt objects, but never Pluto.

I think the petition's goal is to ensure NH flies off to explore other Kuiper Belt objects instead of being sent to the ass end of nowhere like NASA apparently wants to do
