I can't wait , I wanna see Pluto and Charon.

And, why not, Haumea, Makemake, Eris and Sedna.

@sbergman27 - Might be better to say America's Most Powerful Rocket at this time" Yes, Saturn V was the stud of rockets (insert picture of Saturn V kicking sand in smaller/lesser rockets' faces). Pity our short-sighted space policies do not have a Really Large DR in inventory.

02:30 - The narrator does take a little license here, "America's Most Powerful Rocket" has only a quarter of the capacity America's most powerful rocket had in 1969. Voyager 1 (launched 1977) is traveling about as fast as NH, has traveled faster in the past, and will be traveling faster than NH upon leaving the solar system. Helios 1&2 (launched 1974&1976) regularly travel *way* faster.

Cool!

Pluto is strange in this solar system because the terrerstrial planets are four and inner. The gas giant are four and outer. But there is still the chance of a rock planet way out there? Yes, cuz the kuiper belt.
