2 many to count (we'll find out how many that are habitable if bush stays in office, we might be poor but we'll be advanced!)

We knew there was something there decades ago. Only now we can see it.

If bush stays in office, we will only be going to planets that we believe have oil in them =/

So do all who see such times, but its not up for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time you have.

Some that live deserve death, some that die deserve life, but can you give it to them?

That's because they never landed on the moon. =X

And there are plenty of reason to believe that they didn't..

I knew a site that explained that it was a fake that they didnt land on the moon. Does anyone know a site similar to that?

And small asteroids have hit the moon around the area where the lander was.

The sun appears so small from that distance that you could completely block it out with the head of a pin," said Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology, who helped in the discovery.


You mean our sun is like a star too? Whoa.

I'd rather they go to another planet than to see another one. We can't really learn much from staring at pictures. (But I agree with pushing it to be the 10th planet in the solar system, a nice round number.)

Ok, we'll just send you first.  We might throw you some food and water at some point.

These pictures are very important.  It would be disasterous to now know the topography of the planet surface.

Don't forget, looking at the specta of light reflected off the surface tells us many things about the composition of the planet and its atmosphere. It's speculated that Saturn's moon Titan has atmosphere made up of methane and other hydrocarbons, this is just from looking at the orange spec that is Titan. Don't forget to mention Neptune's Triton, scientists were able to figure out that that moon has nitrogen geyers and ice that behaved like lava(although its around -100c).

About the object found: I wouldn't really call it a planet, but more or less a kuniper belt object. There are thousands of planetoids within the kuniper belt, we just managed to find one.
