    I don’t care, Pluto deserves to be a Planet. Classification be dammed.

    Maybe if we find some water on it, we can get the Orange one to visit and name the water.

      Don’t know why you got downvoted over this. I love Pluto, too. I don’t think it’s a planet, but I’m not going to get fighty over it. For most of us, it’s a semantics issues. I don’t think I’ve actually encountered someone arguing that Pluto has, in fact, cleared it’s orbit despite evidence to the contrary. Most of us don’t care about that. Cosmologists do, though. They get to make the terms for the progress of science, which is important, but it really doesn’t make sense to me to engage in any kind of personal conflict over academic hair splitting.
