RE:Another chance to do an all-nighter and pop some champagne in honor of New Horizons and the JPL team

That's APL (Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory), not JPL! As a proud member of the New Horizons team and an employee of APL, I'm a bit sensitive about atribution. The PI, Alan Stern, is with SWRI, and NH is a joint venture between APL and SWRI.

GO New Horizons!!!
