Do you think Pluto should remain a planet?

[ScottB]

Yes, it should remain as one, but it should never have been classified as one to start.
Now, we're going to have like 58 new "planets" with the new definition.
Stupid.
Just a way for butthead astronomers to get their names on rocks.

I try to keep away from there. I've been told there are Klingons orbiting Uranus.

I agree. Removing a planet from the "Big 9" is silly. What's next with these silly scientists?

You guys are Pluto huggers.
What's next? Should Toyota replace Daimler-Chrysler in the Big 3?

it has a rather odd orbit. odd enough that i probably wouldn't consider it a classical planet.

[moribundman]

But never let lying dogs sleep.

Dogs never lie, humans have the monopoly.

 

[moribundman]

But what about dawgs, yo?

 

[MarkC]

Different species.

How dare anyone compare a dog to a human! Why would someone insult a dog in such a manner?

Does size really matter?

 

[JavaMan]

"Does size really matter?" I don't know. For example, many Pluto's could fit inside Uranus. Does this mean Uranus is better because it is bigger than Pluto? Pluto's enviornment maybe more hospitable than that of Uranus for human habitation. But Uranus may have more raw materials to mined. I guess better is in the eye of the beholder.

There was a great story on the net today that it was a revolt by a small group of astronomers that did this. Apparently most people had already left the conference.....

It's expected that the "vote" will be overturned.
