Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have Finally Reached Pluto

[RicoADF]

Of course its a demotion. now Pluto is the only dwarf and is now bullied by other planets for being a dwarf. I mean i understand why they did it but it sure is demotion.

Actually there are quite a few dwarf planets beyond Pluto, their the reason it was re-classified.
Dwarf Planets - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet
Other dwarf planets in our solar system include:
Ceres
Eris
Haumea
Makemake
Orcus
Sedna

So Pluto is far from alone, most of these planets being in the outer solar system in Pluto's neighborhood.

So... It's friends now get to mock it for thinking it was more significant than them... And the renaining planeta get to laugh at it for thinking it was important enough to be part of their gang.
Harsh. XD

Is it time for "Worth the wait" jokes yet? It is pretty cool that we got to the last planet too (it is a planet damnit)

Yes, we must investigate Mondas as soon as possible! Even now, the Cybermen could be mounting an attack!

Poor little guy is so antisocial and depressed since NASA demoted him from a planet.

I've never understood the issue with this. It's not 'demoted' or down graded, just reclassified as a dwarf planet. Dwarf as the dictionary states "of unusually small stature or size; diminutive.", so basically their calling it a small planet which is what Pluto and it's other dwarf planets are.
If it was reclassified as a moon then yes people would have something to complain about.

I was making a joke. I totally understand that Pluto is a dwarf planet. I even realize that there are unknown numbers of dwarf planets within our Solar System.

Well, it is all the fault of the Plutonians. They keep mining Plutonium from the planet's core and causing it to shrink.

Fantastic stuff.

Although I do find it funny imagining that after that whole journey, the first thing they did was tell Pluto it wasn't actually a planet anymore - well, not a 'real' one.

Captcha - 'tucson, az' - no you stupid computer, Pluto.

taking the planet's best picture yet

However - It will take 16 months to beam all of New Horizon's data back to Earth. :O

Not only that, but there's 7 of them total. Would that make Pluto Grumpy or Dopey?

 

[Parasondox]

And then beyond Pluto, will we discover a Mass Relay? Or discover a Stargate on the planets/dwarfs surface?

Yeah I am going all geeky. Sue me.

 

[SeanSeanston]

Or discover a Stargate on the planets/dwarfs surface?

If they do, they should get that delightful James Spader involved.

 

[cathou]

ah, new horizon. the probe that was sent to a planet and arrived at a dwarf...

but the images are pretty damn cool
