I hate to be a spoilsport but Pluto isn’t going to have life. The conditions required for life as we know it aren’t even close to possible on Pluto.
Yeah, okay.
From Space.com (emphasis mine) - At its warmest, when it is closest to the sun, Pluto can reach temperatures of minus 369 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 223 degrees Celsius).
Potential home for islamists, BLM and the like, cold has a way of tamping down aggression a bit.
In the absence of serious kinetic compression, that ice is going to be harder than steel. And without something to provide outside energy to the planet, any subsurface ocean would have frozen long ago.
At least on Europa, you have the gigantic tidal forces generated by Jupiter to (theoretically) knead the moon’s core like play-doh, keeping it molten and providing energy (through marine volcanoes) to keep the water liquid and supplying minerals and other nutrients that could be taken advantage of by life.
What I find surprising is how emotionally invested NASA scientists are in finding life. I guess it helps their funding.
But what if there isn’t life out there?
In this vast universe we may be alone.
That is what would be mind blowing.
Here the petition to promote Pluto back to planetary status…
Remember you are not just helping Pluto but if it was promoted it would be a stick in the eye of atheist activist Neil Tyson’s who played a big role in demoting it.

Stop. Please stop. There is no water anywhere but here. And we are going nowhere but here. That is reality. Deal with it.
Pluto is really upset about its demotion and wants everyone to know why it deserves back into the Bigs.
...and don't be calling Pluto a dwarf either!
It's "Little Planet!"
Water on Pluto? How sublime. ;)
Pluto ping
Isn’t it beautiful?
