I think this is stupid, we shouldn't say something is a planet and then say its not a planet. If something is classified as a planet, then everyone is expected to know about it, it should just stay a planet.
Now we're gonna have to change all our text books cuz some idiotic scientists wanted to be cool and thought that getting rid of a planet would be a cool way to get their names in a book instead of doing something important.
Sigh, well I guess pluto isn't alone as it is now a 'dwarf planet' along with Xena and Ceres.

"It's okay. Everything will be okay."
*FBI crashes through every window and door in the building and points guns at Pluto.*
FBI guy: "You don't exist!"
*Zaps pluto to a pile of dust.*
Another FBI guy: "You didn't see anything!"
*All FBI agents go in complete reverse, while all crashed windows and doors un-crash.*
Basically, they're going to erase Pluto from the textbooks.

The human race is so despicable and detestful that they destroy everything that is given to them and then look for other places to consume aswell, just like a virus.
Seriously, the only problem our Planet has is the human being itself, and our destruction is the only way for nature to survive longer. Damn, the human being is a 100% residual life form, and itīs left overs, when aborsobed by nature, they take lots of years to go. That's a lot of time and the trash will still go no and on until we have nowhere to put it! Bury or dump in the sea, weīre still feeding our trash mountain!
And thereīs no coming back now, since itīs impossible to return to a life where we need no cars or plastic stuff! And even if technology advances a lot in residual disposing, itīs not gonna do it fast enough to save our detestable existance. And if it does, what good it'll do, since all we do is destroy whatever is in our hands?
So fuck outter space. And donīt give me religion ****, cause this world was NOT made for humans only (i hate when my father says: "But son, without the human being this world would have no purpose!" Oh holy bullshit!)

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at with this and that other post.
However, the universe exploded, crap went flying everywhere, and at least 12 pieces of crap ended up orbiting a giant flaming ball of burning H/He. Later, life grew on the piece of crap 3rd closest to the sun.
Even later, life told the ninth closest piece of crap to "take your friends and get out of here, jerks", despite all the time they'd spent together in the last 76. Life is mean.

I don't really care much about Pluto, It's not like we can use it for anything besides farming it for resources in about 1000-2000 years.
Post by: Osmose on August 24, 2006, 10:00:28 PM
Seriously, going on about how bad humans is does nothing but show that you would rather argue about the problem than realise that it is impossible for all people to devote their power towards helping the Earth. Rather than rant about how stupid people are, you should instead try to promote methods of improving the Earth that can work with our current lifestyle. A more optimistic approach would be more appropriate than "WHY ARE THEY WORRYING ABOUT THIS? WHAT I CARE ABOUT IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT!"

Actually... When we look out into space, we can find a lot of useful things for down here on earth. The moon for example, you think theres nothing interesting about the moon? Did you know that they've found a substance on the moon they call helium 3? One shuttle full of heluim 3 could power the united states for 1 year. It would solve a lot of problems we have right now on earth. Who knows what else we will find on other planets that will help us out a lot.

Yay, I know how to sum things up into a few easy to read sentences.
Pluto doesn't follow Neptune's gravity, and it doesn't go in a circle-like shape around Neptune, hence it's not a moon of Neptune. I think what you were refering to is Pluto and Neptune's paths crossing. Yes, at certain points, Pluto is closer to the sun then Neptune. In theroy, sense they both cross paths and travel at different speeds, eventually they will "bump" into each other, and then Pluto might be pulled off course and become a moon of Neptune due to it's gravitational pull.

- Considered a lane when it was discovered in the 1930s. One moon, Charon, was found in 1978. The Hubble Space telescope turned up two more, this year christened Nix and Hydra.
- Now classified as a dwarf planet by international astronomical union.
- Demoted because it's oblong orbit overlaps Neptune's.
And there is some other crap that's not important. I like Pluto, :(

Mainly tradition of naming the rest of them after greek gods, I guess. Being the farthest out from the sunm some gradeschool girl suggested naming it after the god of the undworld, or so the story goes.

Yeah, my friend was telling me about that during my freshman year. Amazingly, I still remember that..... Anyways, I believe he said that a pop can full of Helium 3 could power your car for a year. Apparently, the only reason the moon is able to collect He3 is because it has no rights, it has no status, and it has no atmosphere or any of the protective stuff that Earth has. Thus, it is able to collect particles from solar wind. However, it collects it so slowly that efforts to go and sift all that dust for it would be pretty uneconomical. So, until we can make facilities to siphon He3 or other super-energized particles, all we has is the knowledge that they exist.
