Why did they wait until NOW to release these? pics taken in 2015 and we pay their salaries in tax dollars

NASA releases sharpest images of Pluto ever taken; captured via spacecraft's flyby in 2015. http://nbcnews.to/1WYPaJF
Now if little Ms. Fox News had actually read the story from NBC Nightly News she would see that it takes a while for pics to travel from PLUTO. Oh and I love how she goes after NASA for spending our Tax Dollars.
The people who replied to her let her have it!! Very funny stuff

(21,786 posts)which is quite low, at the distance of Pluto it's transmitting data at a rate of 1 kilobit per second, and at that rate 4GB of data (which is plausible for high resolution photography) takes over a year to transmit.

@greta Why do you publicly assume some nefarious plot instead of asking someone who might know first?

@tenspider_wx Greta seems to be operating at very low power and bandwidth as well

(9,748 posts)Two of the five days they had a comedian, a politician and a journalist. It wasn't even close. Both days the comedian wiped the floor with the others.
Melissa Harris-Perry did well, but she still lost, partly because she isn't a risktaker on the Daily Double she hit.
I think I saw all of the first three shows and most of Friday's. The authors, comedians, "librul artsy folks" kicked ass, even in history categories.
