My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets. Demote Pluto, and it's "My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Eight." YOu have to rename Neptune "Eptune."
Bad move.
Some say Pluto isn't a planet, it's a Kuiper Belt "object." So Pluto is a different sort of planet--that's OK. We already have Terrestrial Planets and Jovian Planets. There is room in the Solar System for "Kuiper Belt Planets.
And so what if they are discovering new Kuiper Belt Objects bigger than Pluto? There's room in the solar system for more planets. This is the freaking 21st century! If they can't discover more planets in the 21st century, what's the point of living in the future!
