Dude, It ain't me that said it. I believe it and I am a total science/astro junkie! Everyday I talk to the kids about the mission and Pluto and fascinated at the whole thing.

Its suggested that it is fairly young - 100 million years or so, has a Nitrogen atmosphere, water. Pretty darn far away but image if the volcanos could produce enough heat to make some form of life occur.

You have to admit it's a beautiful thing.

Watched it a few times and it brought a smile to my face each time. Such a deserving asshat. If only we lived in a world where more people weren't afraid to do the same ("I'll sue you!") What a nation of babies we've become. Hats off to Buzz A. and the others like him that did great things back when this nation was still great - before it was ruined by lawyers and liberals.

I will be serious for a moment (no... really).
If you haven't seen the Hubble IMAX movie you should put in on your bucket list.

Anyways, I am just fed up with this "We have to discover how everything began", money wasting crap.
I was very curious about this, so I did a little research...

That's not Pluto!
It is one of it's moons, Charon.

Pluto, Schmuto... whatever.

I was making a joke inside a joke. Went right past him, I suspect. Was going to make a joke about meatballs, but I did not.

My favorite image of Pluto, so far:



Nice, digital enhancement of the surface topography.

You are so right Doug. I don't believe computers are real, but I have several. They claim to connect me to the "internet" where I can go to message boards and discussing things with other "people."

Just so you know hamsters, I'm on to it. I know every one of you is an intelligent, giant alien hamster telling me what you think I need to know by mind control. (Except maybe PARF. There is no intelligence there.)

Others may think they are sitting in front of a computer, but I see them tapping on a piece of 2x8 with a decent sized floor tile propped up in front of them.

It's the ones who don't believe in 2x8s who are crazy.

Coincidence? I think not!



Just as the cartoon, Pluto (the not-quite-a-planet) is clearly a Disney construct, which is obviously run by Masons and Illuminati.

I am sure Hugh is even in on it.

This would have to be one of the greatest photos ever.

Pluto from 18,000km.
