It is unlikely that we will never see images of Pluto and Arrokoth again. However, it is true that the New Horizons spacecraft, which took the most detailed images of these objects, is now too far away to take any more pictures.

The New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto in 2015 and Arrokoth in 2019. It is currently on its way to the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy objects beyond Neptune. It is not expected to return to Pluto or Arrokoth.

The images that New Horizons took of Pluto and Arrokoth are truly amazing. They have revealed a wealth of new information about these objects, including their shapes, sizes, and surface features. These images have also helped us to better understand the formation and evolution of the solar system.

While we may never see images of Pluto and Arrokoth as detailed as those taken by New Horizons, we can still learn a lot about these objects by studying the data that the spacecraft collected. We can also hope that future missions will be sent to Pluto and Arrokoth to take even more detailed images.
