Nah. For me it was this 70 MB photo of Pluto that convinced me that they're not hyping anything, but delivering actual results: http://www.nasa.gov/sites/defaul

For me it was this 70 MB photo of Pluto that convinced me that they're not hyping anything, but delivering actual results: http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/crop_p_color2_enhanced_release.png http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/cro... Think I spent half a day staring at that photo, just zooming and panning and wishing I had a bigger screen. Anyhow, they bring up this data bandwidth issue front and center in the PDF. More to my point (if I had one), the probe was launched in 2006 and took 9 years to get there. The 70 MB photo was taken half a year ago and just now managed to get transmitted (surely they had other things queued up and so forth.) I don't think that I've done anything for 9 years, and I would never wait half a year for a page to load, so NASA's convinced me that they can do longevity.
