2012: the piano-sized New Horizons probe of NASA nears Pluto Man now has it within his capability to send large musical instruments to the outer planets. Eventually, we will be able to send, first, woodwind sections, then entire philharmonics to the stars.

I'm more worried about the harmonicas China is beginning to send to the moon. Have you ever listened to Chinese music? Lots of violins with broken strings.

Some believe, Pluto has intelligent Type zero or Type 1 alien civilization. If that is true that be as advanced as we are or slightly more advanced. In that case they are about ready to send a probe to the earth. If they are slightly behind us, they will be capable to encounter New Horizons probe with their own UFOs. Is this the Indian version of the National Enquirer?
We're far more likely to find an undiscovered technological civilization at Earth's south pole. And the chance of that happening is nil.

In an effort to preserve their privacy, Goofy and Pluto have become enemies of all Earth rockets.

"May find Goofy there."
I've always wondered about those two...

New Horizons, a NASA space craft with a probe will travel at 26,700mph Feh. That's not even Warp 1.

I've always wondered about those two... Goofy: Dog, walks on two feet, wears clothes, plays golf.
Pluto: Dog, walks on four feet, no clothes, chases cars.

Democrats?
Pluto must be very, very, cold. How cold is it? I don't know. How cold could Pluto be? Can it be colder than absolute zero? Freepers, englighten me please. Thank you.

Piano sized? Doesn't seem that impressive to me.

Kepler believed in the music of the spheres. What would he think of NASA sending a piano to Pluto? On the other hand, he probably would be gratified that a planet not discovered until 300 years after his death nevertheless faithfully obeys his laws of planetary motion.

> Can it be colder than absolute zero?
No. There is no such thing as "colder than absolute zero," any more than there's anything slower than "motionless." And for much the same reason.
Pluto is cold, but nowhere near abzero. Around 40K, likely. Abzero is, unlike "motionless," essentially impossible to obtain.

Pluto is very different from other planets. No one really knows what out there. Uh...then how do we know its very different? Out of curiosity.

Reminds me of the joke about the guy who walks into a bar with a miniature piano and a 12-inch pianist. Oh wait, can't tell THAT one here...

There are fair possibilities of intelligent life forms there that is still undetected. This is a joke, right? Pluto is about 20 degrees above absolute zero. EVERYTHING on Pluto is frozen solid, including all gases.
