Well done to all the NASA bods for their hard work in getting this photo... nine years in the making! It's funny to think that, if humanity progresses it's collective tech as scheduled (and we don't destroy each other with said tech) probably in a 100 years' time getting a photo like that will be much quicker. Probably involve a quick jaunt over to Pluto in one's local space skimmer, take the pic with some sort of cyborg-ish Microsoft built ocular implant that will immediately upload it to the galactic Facebook wall, via Google's neural net.
