After waiting so long for this, it's hard to believe the time is finally here. Anxiously awaiting the all-clear signal in about 24 hours and all the pix and info to follow.

“Because Pluto is almost 3 billion miles away, it will take 4.5 hours of travel time at the speed of light for the all-clear signal to reach Earth.”
The speed of light, for those that don’t know, is 186,000 miles per second!

Too bad writers can’t relate to people well.
Pluto is: 2,370 kilometers (1,473 miles)
Our moon is: 1,737.10 km (wiki sucks too, can’t even show miles)
So it’s about 1/4 larger than our moon. Or 125% the size of our moon.

This settles it. Time to make Pluto a planet again.

Can it go back to being a planet now?

New Horizons Probe Finds Out Pluto's Bigger
I see a march on Washington coming up soon, with people trying to get Obama to promote Pluto back to planet status.
It's not fair that the planetoid gets no respect and has been getting second-class treatment for a bunch of years.

It’s kind of lame we’re still in the Trivial Pursuit phase of manned space exploration. Back in the day, I thought we’d be terraforming the moon and forming colonies on Mars by now.
