MOC Bloggin': We're on our own

At T+ 00:44:55, New Horizons separated from the Boeing
spinning third stage. This followed the expending of
5 solid rocket boosters, the Kerosene/LOX first stage,
and the LOX/LH2 Centaur second stage.

It's now spinning at approximately 70 rpm and hurtling
towards Pluto by way of Jupiter.

We'll find out if it's talking to us soon.
