Seriously love what
@NASANewHorizons team has done with#UltimaThuleFlyby. Also seriously love that@JHUAPL uses a three-hole punch, a stapler and scotch tape for a project pulling science from a billion miles past#PooroldplanetPluto.#USApic.twitter.com/IYX6MaJIxT

Looks like a successful flyby, the initial signal show autonomous navigation maneuvers were executed successfully and that data was recorded
