Apparently they are right down the money on the line past Pluto, brilliant.....that's half the battle to start getting superb piccys and data back.. the module is also carrying some of the ashes of the astronomer who discovered Pluto, Clyde Tombaugh. That's rather nice as he was also one of the pioneers in unearthing the Kuiper Belt.
Pluto was downgrade because another dwarf planet Eris was thought to be bigger than Pluto. It now looks like Pluto is in fact the bigger of the two. But I don't expect it to get its full planet status back. The re-classification works.
Though it is very cold at 3 billion miles from the sun, space Is a near perfect vaccuum. There is oxygen, so no water, so ice cannot form.
The New Horizons craft is power by converting decaying radioactive material on the vessel into electricity.

The European Space Agency is responsible for the Rosetta mission which included landing Philae (which is still working) on an object travelling at 135,000 kph with a gravitational pull that is several hundred thousand times weaker than on Earth. Quite impressive.
