Did we really send a space probe to Pluto, coming within 0.5 Earth radii, then send it to a tiny object smaller than Rhode Island and come within 3000 miles? Cmon man!

What's the truth on this interdasting subject? I find it hard to believe that we could get such accurate data from so far away. It's literally shooting a needle at the eye of a needle a million miles away and expecting it to go right through the eye. Look at the imagery! 30m per pixel at closest approach!

And Arrokoth. Seems more like a buddy of Ashtaroth than an Indian word. I could be wrong.

But what does it matter? The whole missions smelled fishy once the Pluto information came back. High-quality pictures of Nix and Hydra, but barely any improvement of the other two tiny moons. And New Horizons didn't release a terrain map of the whole planet? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/PIA19947-NH-Pluto-Norgay-Hillary-Mountains-20150714.jpg/1280px-PIA19947-NH-Pluto-Norgay-Hillary-Mountains-20150714.jpg And this looks too fake. Mountains are cool and all but what is this? On a teeny tiny planet?

Or am I just too hyper?
