>New Horizons at 1,000 Days: What Do You Think?
>
>Last week, New Horizons reached the 1,000-day mark of its journey to
>Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. That there's more than 2,400 days until the
>arrival at Pluto tells you enough about just how long a journey this is
>- but New Horizons has already marked several accomplishments: the
>fastest launch from Earth, the first pictures of asteroid APL, the
>pinpoint gravity assist and science encounter in the Jupiter system.
>
>We'd like to hear your take on where New Horizons has been, and where
>it's headed. Use our online form

>and reflections - in 200 words or less - on the mission's first 1,000
>days "on the road" to Pluto and beyond. Then, check back in with the New
>Horizons Web site for the latest responses.
