"is covered in nearly pure water ice."

“Discovered in June 2005, Pluto’s outermost moon Hydra is thought to have formed four billion years ago during a massive impact event that created Pluto and Charon.”
The late James Patrick Hogan had this figured out 35 years earlier.

That means only one thing: we need to find a large enough glass and enough Scotch Whisky to use it as an ice cube (well, ok, an ice sphere). That would be a space program we can all get behind.
