Has the Astronimical Union gone too far?
« on: May 11, 2012, 02:55:45 am »
Or not too far enough?

http://lightyears.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/10/space-rock-vesta-promoted-to-protoplanet/?hpt=us_t3

First Pluto gets demoted, now Vesta gets a promotion.  How far with Sol's re-org go?  Will Ceres get promoted next?  This smells of affirmative action.

Pluto getting demoted was sad. It will always be a planet in my eyes.

Arsenal, have I mentioned how large my mother told me your cannon was? She said it was HUGE.

Pluto not being classified as a planet felt like the hole left in my heart when Leo left.

I feel the same way as both of you, but the difference between Pluto and Leo is that this was done to Pluto, and Leo did to us...

But when you think about it, Pluto really did have it coming, what with its freestyle orbit and all.  Just would not align with the rest of the Sol leadership, and in the end, a demotion is better than getting downsized altogether.  The fact that promotions like Vista's are possible make me wonder if Pluto can't work its way back up...

People still can't get over Pluto? It shouldn't have been called a planet in the first place.

I have half a mind to ban your ass until the cabinet decide what to do with you, partly because you made me close like 25 threads and now I have to decide where to throw them
