Ice means water. Water means oxygen.
Water, oxygen, hydrocarbons, basic building blocks of the universe. They are everywhere.

Heard on the science channel that it is taking more than 500 images and that they also will be transmitted back to earth over a period of many months.
Very cool stuff!

Love your theories but where are those Plutoians? Surely we would have heard from by now..or from other planets that can support life. Anyway, capable of supporting life as we know it is not the same as life happens there.
Life seems to be a strange and wonderful event and have no idea about how and why it occurs - yet? I have theories and I’d bet that you do also but who knows - yet you and I will probably never know? Wonderful world though!

Heard on the science channel that it is taking more than 500 images and that they also will be transmitted back to earth over a period of many months. Apparently, New Horizon's total data rate back to Earth is currently about 1000 bits per second, or 125 bytes per second.

Oh, what am I talking about?
With all the error-correcting bits they undoubtedly have to add to the data stream, the actual data rate for usable data is probably way less than 125 bytes/sec.

Who’s going to be first to climb to the top of one of those mountains on Pluto?

Those Mountains mean Pluto could have nuclear generated heat coming from its core.

Well.... I wasn’t trying to be funny. I was serious.
If you know of another thread that has these latest pictures, then post the link.
The more the merrier, as they say.
I just searched again and couldn’t find any other thread with those pictures.

All the controversy over Pluto being a planet is silly.
