Hahahahahahaha.

An absolutely hysterical tweet about the mission and Pluto's non-planet status.

This is great exploration of knowledge to me! To think that Pluto is relatively new and geologically active despite being way too far away from any major tidal or heat source to prolong such is fascinating. As the NASA scientist said, this is going to make a lot of people rethink their theories about planetary development and geological development. That's what science is about - adjusting the theories to fit the data and not the other way around.

We need a little connection to Objectivism here...so I'll say hooray for science and reason!! (I'm also an aerospace engineer, aka rocket scientist, so I have extra appreciation for this.)
We could have a discussion about the ethics of funding sources...which probably won't have much debate. Nothing about NASA's charter about defending individual rights, running courts, or defending the country.

Cool. I still think it should be a planet.
