Two thoughts come to mind:
1) I can't believe no one posted this yet
2) Science is now dead to me.

New Horizon is the first mission in NASA's New Frontiers program of medium-class planetary missions. It will be the first spacecraft to vist Pluto and it's moon, Charon.

Mission Milestones
February 2007 Jupiter gravity assist
March 2007 - June 2015 Interplanetary cruise
July 2015 Pluto-Charon encounter
2016-2020 Kuiper Belt objects encounter

Where is the New Horizons Spacecraft Now?

The New Horizons mission to Pluto cost approximately $700 million. source

jay you just ruined my week.

Does Pluto still get to be Mickey's Dog?? Or did the scientists vote that down too?

This is kinda strange, but am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with this? Yeah its a big change but its better to be correct/consistent that to keep whats familiar. Just my 2 cents.

Oh and yes Mickey gets to keep Pluto.

I don't have a problem with it, but it is kind of a change in tradition. Not only that, but this is a major change in history. Kids these days will grow up learning there are only 8 planets instead of 9.

Very true, but when it was determined that the world was not flat and that the sun did not rotate around the earth those were "traditions" and major changes. I guess my feelings are that it happens. But I do agree that is its kinda weird to think about it as one less planet. But now when you have kids you can say "Back in my day we had 9 planets"....... or " You kids and your 8 planets now a days."

Science is for dorks. Pluto is real as long as we still believe in it.

When I was a young kid, I recalled giving this kid a nickname when we were discussing planets in a science class. This kid was named Fiery Pluto. I called myself Marty Mars. Looking back at that, I am now

Heard last night that they are going to have a revote on the issue. Something like only 500 of 30000 individuals voted.
