Travel into a black hole - NewScientist.com

Won't it take forever for you to fall in? 

Won't it take forever for the black hole to even form?

TO FIND THIS OUT!!! One is to see something -- MAYBE a small robot spacecraft -- fall into the black hole. The odd thing is it never seems to get there. The closer it approaches the hole's event horizon, the slower it seems to travel. 
To the observer, the spacecraft appears to halt, seemingly forever suspended at the boundary of the black hole. The spacecraft begins to turn orange, then red then fades imperceptibly from view. Though it is gone, you never see where or how it disappeared.
