Please excuse me for minor mistakes in grammar and expression.
Today, first of all, I'd like to place a congratulatory address on New Horizons spacecraft's arrival at Pluto and successful flyby.
I was anxious about anomaly occured less than ten days before the closest approach, so quick restoration was a releaf.
I used to imagine that Pluto was quiet gray icy world, but actually Pluto is a brown astronomical body with tectonism, which was the first surprise to me.
I'm looking forward to discoveries on release.
Also, I wish safe flight for New Horizons going to Kuiper Belt and interstellar space!
cf. http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/
I'm lucky I didn't miss this historical moment:
In this spring, a program about trajectory of Voyager spacecraft was on show at a planetarium in a local science museum, and I went to watch this.
As for this, the best thing seems to be that I felt like searching about recent space exploration again
New Horizons spacecraft was launched in 2006 and arriving at Pluto on July 14 in this year .
I'm also the one who thought it must be an impressive coincidence for all the people concerned that New Horizons spacecraft crossed orbit of Neptune just 25 years after Voyager 2 visited Neptune.
cf. http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/display.cfm?News_ID=48022
It's a bit long story...
When I was a junior high school student, I learned about " Project Grandtour " at science class, and I was deeply interested.
I look back that I must have felt what a romantic attempt to load Voyager spacecraft with message records for extraterrestrial lives.
So I read various books about space and space exploration, including difficult books for teens.
-Although I don't think I was a fan of science fiction back then.
One of the things I didn't know back then was: Once an option was considered to send Voyager 1 to Pluto, but eliminated.
Unfortunately, I flunked in mathematics in high school, and backed down after that.
I had forgotten about it until I saw the news that Voyager 1 reached the edge of the Solar System in summer 2012.

When I was searching about New Horizons program, I saw the official website of NASA and Voyager program,
And jumped for joy inwardly that I wish I could show myself in junior high.
However... even if these websites existed back then and at the same time I was allowed to watch whenever I wanted, I'm not sure whether I could read back then, although my grade of English at school was good.
When will Voyager 2 enter the interstellar space like Voyager 1?
Can Voyager 1 go beyond bow shock before it runs out of batteries?
Needless to say, I'd like to place a cheering for them, too -it's too premature for "farewell" yet :
Stay on mission as long as power source and communication last, and keep going as much as possible!!
-Of course, I understand that even after communication with Earth is lost forever, the mission of twin Voyager spacecraft as "ambassadors from Earth" goes on eternally, deserving their name .
cf. http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/display.cfm?News_ID=48484
Today is 3,333th day of this weblog.
In the year A.D. 3333 -1,318 years later on simple calculation ,
Pioneer and Voyager and New Horizons spacecraft will be still wandering somewhere in the interstellar space -I just hope they can fly through Oort cloud safely
-But will people have had contact with extraterrestrial civilization?
How far will people be going in space?
In the first place- will human species keep existing to be wiser?
More than anything else: How will be the situation of Earth when extraterrestrial lives discover those spacecraft?
