On July 14, 2015, an amazing event happened. More than 4.8 billion kilometers from Earth, NASA's small spacecraft, called New Horizons, zipped past Pluto at more than 50,000 km/h, pointed all its instruments at the mysterious icy worlds, and then continued its journey to the far reaches of the solar system. .Nothing like this had happened in a generation—there had been no exploration of new worlds since the Voyager missions to Uranus and Neptune—and nothing like it was planned for the future. More than 2 billion people visited NASA's website dedicated to the expedition in the days before and after the flyby. And now all the details of this historical project can be learned from the stories of its direct participants - the leader Alan Stern and other members of the team. This book is a fascinating report about a scientific discovery, about decades of dedicated and persistent work, about political battles within and around NASA, about the high the skill it took to design and build a spacecraft and then send it into flight. And also about the future fate of the program and what awaits us beyond new horizons.
