people stop asking questions on YouTube . USE your resources, like wikipedia, nasa.org and its ntrs documents . Also, people stop acting like rocket engineers, unless you actually ARE rocket engineers (KSP players do not qualify) .

Personally i think they should have included a little solarpanel and battery so the probe isnt useless when the RGTs run out (in a decade or two) but what the fuck do i know about rocket science

What really fascinates me is this robot's suspension. I actually admire it instead of sitting here not understanding a single thing it's doing and calling it "amazing".

Nice... But there's no sound in space.

I like the way that if you listen really carefully you can hear the wind whisper.. I mean, like wtf! xD
