On July 14, 2015, an amazing event took place. More than 4.8 billion km from Earth, a small NASA spacecraft called New Horizons rushed past Pluto at a speed of more than 50,000 kmh, directing all its instruments to mysterious icy worlds, and then continued its journey to the far reaches of the solar system. Nothing like this has happened in the memory of a whole generation - there have been no studies of new worlds since the Voyager flights to Uranus and Neptune - and nothing like this was planned in the future. More than 2 billion people visited the NASA website dedicated to the expedition in the days before and after the flight. And now all the details of this historical project can be found from the story of its direct participants - the leader Alan Stern and other team members. This book is an exciting report on a scientific discovery, on decades of dedicated and persistent work, on political battles within and around NASA, on the high skill it took to design and build a spacecraft, and then send it flying. And about the further fate of the program and what awaits us behind the new horizons.
