To be a killjoy, Pluto is a tiny ball of ice in perpetual near darkness. It is unlike a planet in every way except being round. No one will ever see it with their own eyes. Amazing how much money we’re able to waste just to get a few pictures of it.

Actually, it’s not that dark. More like about sunrise or sunset on earth.

“It is unlike a planet in every way except being round.”

You are full of it.

It is in orbit around the Sun.

Wasted? If it is indeed a ball of ice, it’s the last gas station on the way to the stars. Not wasted at all.

Never say never. Someday, perhaps in your lifetime, perhaps in a hundred years, somebody may discover something worth mining there.
