Poll: One of the planets in our solar system must be destroyed! *besides earth*

[Liudeius]

Ram a 5000 megaton Nuclear Missile into Uranus and blow it away.

If only Uranus weren't so gassy.
(Because it's a gas giant it is.)

OT: Pluto, yeah, it's worthless, and so small it could hardly be considered a moon.

 

[Epicspoon]

Jupiter, because if I can't blow up Earth then Jupiter is a nice loophole seeing as how it protects us from huge ass meteors.

MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[coolkirb]

I think Mercury is the only planet we dont need, I wont count Pluto.

 

[The Night Shade]

Pluto because it doesn't do anything for our planet

 

[Beliyal]

It's funny. I had an Astronomy class this past year, and now I cringe at the idea of destroying any of them because I learned so many (practically) useless facts. I guess I'd have to go with Pluto, specifically because it is not a real planet despite how oddly attached people got to it. I find the whole campaign to keep Pluto a planet baffling.

Something like this. I didn't have an Astronomy class, but I've been interested in Astronomy since forever and I know hundreds of useless facts due to the huge amount of books I read on the subject. So, I'd only be able to sacrifice Pluto. It somehow seems destroying Pluto would have the least impact on our solar system. I do feel sorry a bit for Pluto, though. Poor thing, kicked out of the system and then blown up.

And people voting for Uranus, haven't you played Mass Effect? That shit will get us rich!

After the development of mass effect FTL drive, distant Uranus was the target of a "land rush" to exploit its combination of plentiful helium-3 fuel and shallow (for a gas giant) gravity well. Today Uranus is the largest producer of He-3 in Alliance space.

 

[GigaHz]

I don't care what anyone else thinks, Pluto will always be a planet. It was part of my childhood dammit!

Also, mercury is practically a rock anyway. No one would miss it. Pluto is controversial so we must keep it alive.

Pluto will regain its status as a planet, just you wait.

 

[Arkynomicon]

Uranus, to end the jokes. That way future generation will have nothing to laugh about haha!!

Nah, we will just rename it Urectum to kill that joke once and for all.

But I thought Uranus was Depleted? EDE lied to us! I guess she didn't want us to probe Uranus anymore.

can we just call it cocknballs?

 

[Dags90]

Neptune. When is the last time that rock do something for me?!

I'm pretty sure Neptune is one of the "gas giant" types of planet. It's mostly hot air. *rimshot*

I voted Pluto.

 

[Super Kami Guru]

Jupiter. It's gravity is... Too damn high. Plus it's so smug sitting in trees and in piesjust because it's the largest planet. It's just a big windbag, a blowhard a... I've run out of jokes that make fun of it being a gas giant...

I think Jupiter has every right to be a smug windbag, it's basically Earth's safety net for asteroids!!! You owe that big windbag your life!

Mercury on the other hand, that lazt little s***, what did it ever do for anyone? It just sits close to the sun hogging all the warmth, wizzing round the sun faster than the others like its a race, when's the last time that turbo charged midget caught an asteroid?

 

[Veldel]

well i guess we need to ravage uranus (pun intdended)

OT: lets blow up Pluto to end the planet thing weather it being a planet or not oh and lets use a death star

 

[Talshere]

We are all screwed, all the planets have a significant mass and so significant gravity... Removing ANY of the planets would upset the gravitational balance in the solar system, in the long term potentially shifting the earth resulting in the destruction of the human race.

 

[The_Evermind]

I think that Jupiter blowing up would look the coolest so I am going to go with that.

 

[infohippie]

Getting rid of Pluto would put an end to the arguments over it's planetary status. Plus it's the one I think we could most afford to lose with minimal long-term consequences to the solar system.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Blow up Pluto, just to shut up people who still think it's a planet. Now it's DUST. Happy?

that works, or mercury, but pluto seem more useless

 

[Iron Lightning]

Pluto, we've got plenty of dwarf planets. Plus destroying that planet would screw up the orbital dynamics of the Solar System the least.

 

[wulfy42]

If you blew up Saturn all it's moons would probably fly away and possibly collide with earth or other planets. It would be kinda like a big game of solar system pool (red dwarf like)....so I think it would be the most fun.

 

[Jodah]

Pluto is the only one I would dare get rid of. Everything else has the potential to screw up our gravity and orbit. Pluto still might but its less of a chance.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Uranus. Because it's just sitting there, doing nothing productive. Get Uranus up and out of here!

Jupiter, because if I can't blow up Earth then Jupiter is a nice loophole seeing as how it protects us from huge ass meteors.

MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, man. I don't want the Earth to be hit by ass-meteors!
