Mission manager pointing to the whole team on the stage: "These are the rock stars!"
"This mission demonstrates what this country, and what the world, can achieve, when we put our minds together."

Presser is properly underway.
Don't expect much news tonight. Good stuff starts coming over the next week. Months to get all of it.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden:
"Once again, our nation has achieved a first."
"An incredible day for everybody. New Horizons will return the most detailed measurements ever taken about Pluto. We have inspired a whole new generation." (points out "the Pluto Kids" in the audience - some children born the day NH launched).
"Today we have once again raised the bar of human potential."

The large group of New Horizon team members have now left the stage, to tremendous cheers.
John Grunsfeld, Alan Stern, Glen Fountain, and Alice Bowman, have been introduced to give some brief remarks.

One fact worth noting for posterity in the live thread is that the received signal strength at the Madrid 70m DSN station from NH was ~3x10-22 kW.
