Yeah, data transmission rates are about 1kb/s for New Horizons. It's a twelve watt transmitter at four billion miles distance; even a laser's focus is going to spread that signal out so faintly it's nothing but a tiny whisper in the dark.
But we can hear you, honey, we hear you just fine. Good job.
I wonder if they got any good spectroscopy data on that frost ring around the snowman's waist. That's probably material that got pushed out from the subsurface as the two came into contact; it might give a glimpse what lies under the skin of Ultima Thule.
