Does anyone know whether this body's vote will effect science textbooks, or what NASA recognizes as a planet?

I don't know about NASA, but all current textbooks are probably obsolete.

No, but it might affect them. ;->

I don't see why NASA would need it's own classification system. It's a rock with a certain orbit, they don't care what you call it.

Click here.

This means that NASA has visited ALL the planets, now.

NASA doesn't see planets but projects needing funding.

Now they'll have to rewrite all the science texts and sell them to the schools so the kids have the lastest and greatest until the next major change in science comes along. Hmmm, maybe I should buy stock in the textbook companies....
