I don't believe Pluto should have been named a planet to begin with, although it will be interesting to see the criteria for which a planet will be named.

Jupitar and Saturn bouth have core's.
Pluto doesnt have an atmosphere, its been stated several times.
I agree with the thing they shouldnt of named it a planet in the first place, but remimber it was in the 1930's. Now we have satalites at the edge of our galaxies trying to break the wind barrier, which is pusshing over a million mph.
We have satalites who have taken pictures of all the planets, orbited all of them, and sent us information. We have another launch for march comming soon. Along with the richest country on the planet(china) starting their space expidition. I do belive they are going to fail they launch and ask us for help.
But i think what they have stated is fact.

I say if you want to believe it's a planet, then do so, and if you don't, that's fine too

They are facts, facts that have been proved with new technology. You do have to understand it was the 1930's when they found it and imedietly named it a planet. Now we have the technology to explore, so yeah. |
