The New Horizons spacecraft sent back information on a small outer space object named Ultima Thule. Ultima Thule (pronounced TOO-lee) means “beyond the borders of the known world.” The data took six hours at the speed of light to travel 4.1 billion miles.
This is hard to comprehend. It is also difficult to comprehend how scientists can accomplish such amazing feats in a world full of the kind of stupidity we see around us every day. How can humans be so smart and so dumb at the same time?
