NASA releases panoramic photo of "arctic sunset" over Pluto

11. Yup. Although like you I am confident it will get funded.

Even rethugs would have to see the folly of not funding the monitoring. I mean you designed the thing, built it, launched it, waited a decade for it to get there and then pull the plug.

NASA funding in general I am much more worried about. I fear we may not even replace the ISS when it reaches end of life. Hopefully commercial transport and commercial crew programs will make it easier for NASA to budget but we still have horrible space pork like the SLS eating up hundreds of millions of dollars.
