Why would this affect NH in any way, shape or form.
Pluto is still Pluto. Still fascinating, still unexplored, still part of a collection of bodies that we need to learn about. The silly thing about this entire episode is that it's making the news......but no one has learnt anything, no one has discovered anything, nothing has changed. Doug |

Why would this affect NH in any way, shape or form. It shouldn't. I was joking -- hence the smiley. Although I am one of those "demote Pluto" guys, I still think Pluto is a worthy target to explore. I'm eagerly awaiting July 2015 as much as the next guy. Just as I'm looking forward to Dawn visiting Ceres and Vesta. To me it makes very little difference what the object's classified. As long as it's interesting, I wanna see it explored. That's why this whole thing is silly and absurd as you say; I was just trying to lighten things up a bit -------------------- |

Just wait until Senator Curmudgeon (C-New Dorkshire) stands up in Congress and demands that New Horizons be "recalled" because "the people of this great nation don't want to see their tax dollars wasted sending machines to 'dwarf planets'!"
