Well, it's science. Of course it will be cool. (Off-Topic)

New Horizons gets to Pluto in July 2015. JUNO gets to Jupiter in 2016.

And the Voyagers keep on Voyagerizing.

It'll be sad when that thing kicks the bucket. Funny how a bit of proximity can result in a 1970's space probe still being a useful research tool in 2014.

Last I heard they anticipate Voyager will keep working until about 2025. In 2020 or so they are planning to turn off their 1st science instrument because of diminishing power from their plutonium power source. That's amazing for something that has been going since the 70's! But after that first instrument goes dark there's only another 5 years left on the mission... at least that's the projection.
