Re the planned Jupiter-Pluto flight by the Voyager spare: How long would such a flight take? Since Pluto is now closer to the sun than Neptune, would it take much longer than the 12-year trip by Voyager 2? I can just imagine a 1989 Neptune-Pluto double encounter... Of course, Voyager 3 wouldn't get a boost from Saturn or Uranus, which could make a difference - I just don't have the math background to figure it out. -- Floyd McWilliams acu@h.cc.purdue.edu
