  1. I get emotional about this probe we launched into space before I was born. It’s amazing that our species sent something so far from our rock home. Reading that it left the heliosphere made me cry.

  2. I was at the Cape for one of them, but I can’t remember which one. They let us watch from the press site, and it was awesome. Most powerful rocket at the time.
