After two days of delays, NASA's New Horizons probe launched today to the ninth planet, Pluto.Like other recent NASA probes, New Horizon contains a CD which contains a list of people who sent in their names, some sort of cosmic hello or something like that, I'm guessing.
Idea for a science-fiction movie: an alien race intercepts an Earth probe carrying a list of earthlings' names and, as the result of some translation error (or something I have yet to work out), comes hunting the people on the list.
