    Brian,you have just made what I feared ...a certainty. We will be paying higher taxes to settle a copy right infringement suit brought by Disney. But, with good behavior, I doubt you will be "away" more than five years.

    Its kinda sad that its been declassified as a planet. If that had happened earlier the mission would've been scrubbed

    Heard a discussion about Pluto classification on NPR. Seems to depend on what type of scientist,there are two camps. But I bet that if I discuss it with a scientist on the opposite side of my view...his chief argument will be ..."I'M a scientist"

    An article/interview on TED involving one of the lead scientists is saying that Pluto will no longer be classified as a dwarf planet, but now will be a "double planet" as Pluto and its moon Charon are jointly orbiting a point in space. Cool stuff.
