After 9 Years In Space New Horizons Mission Still Has No Image Release Policy

Keith’s note: At a NASA press event today, the New Horizons team decided to make their mission less accessible to the public in real time. New Horizons was supposed to be an open mission where everything is shared with everyone as soon as it arrives on Earth. Not any more. They changed their mind and have reversed previous public statements. Just watch as these images will be leaked to selected media first as has been the case with other mission news. What is really baffling is the TBD nature of image release policy. This mission left Earth 9 years ago and basic things such as the overall image release policy are still TBD? #FAIL
Stern: Will share LORRI images to NASA websites. Plans TBD. Won't be instantaneous but will be as fast as we can; team wants to look first.
