You mean you only just found this out?

[ch4rlie]

ya havent you joined the save pluto facebook group.. come on man

[l3lueMage]

Why am I always so far behind in news? GRRRR! eh what save pluto? o.O

[Griffin]

lol only a month or so behind

There are a lot of people trying to get Pluto its planet status back, even heard there was going to be a formal appeal regarding its planetary demotion, have'nt heard much on that lately though.

I dont see why people care so much?...if its not a planet then its not, how does it effect us? x.x

[Trix06]

It does affect us, what if there was a nuclear disaster of some sort and we had to leave the world, what planet would we go too lol. So it's good to know which conditions would be suitable for us. Apparently mars has water, so they say.

That's yonks or years away, Trix. I don't think we'll be transporting the whole world to another planet anytime soon.

[Davey]

could of swore i heard on the news recently a new planet was coming into our orbit - so if that's infact true then we will still have 9 planets... maybe i wasn't listening properly but i never heard anything of pluto...

as for moving to mars, wot facilities do we have for something so large in scale? lol

[Bug]

Lol... if worst comes to worst a Transnational Corporation will decide to claim a planet (if not more) as their own. Then what would happen?!

[Davey]

how would they transport everyone from here to there? that's wot i meant by not having facilites

stores everybodys dna data on an usb stick, transport 1 man and 1 woman, clone them 6 billion times, change their dna's and there you go, simple as that

[Trix06]

Hahahah thats funny!

[Magnesium]

Yeah there has been a fair bit of controvesy around it, but a decision has been made and Pluto is demoted in status.

The Solar System now consists of 1 star, 8 planets, 3 dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris and Ceres), countless minor celestial bodies and one half-finished space station.


P.s. May I be the first to point out the irony of the subject title.

hahaha very ironic, although what about Sedna? Another dwarf planet roughly 5/6 the size of pluto? Does that one not count because it only actually enters our solar system every 800 earth years?

Even though Sedna was one of the bodies that sparked off the whole planet debate, it doesn't actually qualify (It's currently labelled 'planetoid').

However, the 'dwarf planet' definition isn't set in stone yet, and Sedna is one of the 10ish planetoids under consideration for dwarf planet status.

It is a little irritating that many volcanoes no longer eat many jam sandwhiches under normal pressure.

too me I really do not care whats a planet or whats not, it does not effect me at all! heck make it so earth is the only planet and the rest are huge rocks. I dont really care...

And about the "What if we have to leave earth and goto pluto"...lets say we can fly there and live, and we all had to leave earth. Does it have to be called a planet for us to move there, and if its called a giant rock then what? its forbidden to goto it?(if it was possible).

[l3lueMage]
