who's definition? not mine! What planet are you from?

if Pluto cant be a planet anymore then I say neither can those frozen fat gas bloated comet suckers!

they are micro starlettes that never had what it takes to obtain fusion and ignite. THERE! I said it - they are looser star wannabees

I know it, you know it, THEY know it - lets stop pretending they are planets and call them what they really are.

What's all the fuss about? It's not like some secret board of inquisitors met and voted to kick Pluto out of the solar system! It's still there!

Besides, NASA already launched the mission to go look at Pluto, hopefully arriving on the scene circa ten years hence. It's probably too late to turn back now.

I watched this launch go up

Man, New Horizons is going to be really confused once it gets to its destination.

Exactly, it was programmed to goto the planet Pluto. Now there is no Planet Pluto.

Im really upset about this whole thing. I has been my life long dream to be the first person to set foot on the 9th planet, and now my dreams have been shattered.

Pluto is so unique - the surface temp is about 7º K, but with the windchill it feels like its -4° K !

Poof! Just like that - Pluto is turned into a small ball.

[Morgan Gillespie]

If anyone noticed I had that as my user title for several weeks. Now what I found really funny was the protesters who wanted to protect Pluto's rights to be a planet.

That's some windchill! Can temperatures get lower than absolute zero if the wind is blowing hard enough? Hmmm...

[KenWittlief]

with the wind chill it feels like its 4° below absolute zero

Awww but I liked Pluto being a planet...

I guess I just don't get what saying it is or it isn't a planet is going to change. Is it like making it a state or not so the residents have to pay taxes or not? Why is this distinction so neccessary?

When the inhabitants of Pluto want to apply for membership in the United Federation of Planets, then you will understand!

Pluto, you're still a planet to me.

So this is one of those cases where perception is not reality.

pfft...simple solution..reprogram it to go to dwarf planet pluto!

[Lil' Lavery]

I'm literally very sad right now....
I LOVE YOU PLUTO, you'll always be a planet in my heart!
