Half of which time was spent just making the trip… with no way to slow down, unfortunately. Savor these pictures and those to come over the next sixteen months; it's going to be a long, long time before there are any newer or better ones. Putting an orbiter around Pluto or a lander on Charon in anything resembling a reasonable amount of time—say, twenty years or less just for the trip out—won't be easy. We should get Hubble Space Telescope quality or better pictures from the Thirty Meter Telescope or European Extremely Large Telescope when they're finished, however…

…in another nine or ten years.

"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
—Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Just remember, one of the Voyagers will return to us to complete it's mission, and evolve.

If is was a planet... We have so many of those pluto-sized objects orbiting our sun, that If we made all of them planets (As we would have to, it would be only fair) there would be very few people just being able to remember all of those and their order.

Shit, we have come a long way
