4 moons, huh?

They should give back to Pluto it’s planetary ranking.

Well, Pluto’s a “dwarf planet” so I guess those moons are mini-me’s...

Just because they say incorrectly that Pluto isn't a planet, doesn't mean we have to accept these snobbish rules.
Pluto's a planet, pure and simple.

I agree. I understand the logic of the decision, but Pluto should still be a planet if for no other reason than tradition and the great story of its discovery. Thank goodness they got the New Horizons mission off before Pluto was demoted!
