I remember when New Horizons was launched, Pluto was still a planet. I wish there were more missions like this one.

This is adventure, exploration, and science all rolled into one happy ball of teamwork and optimism. It's such a beautiful thing to see. :)

What's most interesting is that some of the recent images from New Horizon suggest ice and water might be on Pluto.

That would seem to be correct Wolf Bird, and more pictures of Pluto have been released that seems to concur with those thoughts. Pictures showing possible mountains and other things on the Planet Pluto are still coming in. Here are some of the more recent ones:
