New Horizons captured the first close images of Pluto on 14 July 2015, transforming a blurry Hubble smudge into a geologically complex world with nitrogen glaciers and a heart-shaped plain named Tombaugh Regio. The mission holds the record for fastest launch velocity from Earth and demonstrated that small RTG-powered probes can deliver flagship science across decades. Alan Shepard's Freedom 7 flight on 5 May 1961 answered Soviet Vostok 1 with an American suborbital hop — enough to restore confidence and accelerate congressional commitment to Apollo. Shepard became the first American in space and, a decade later, walked on the Moon at Fra Mauro during Apollo 14 — the longest span between first flight and lunar surface of any astronaut until surpassed by later careers.
