Does pluto have a moon? I didn't know that.

charon is large enough relative to pluto that the center of gravity between the two bodies is a point between the two, which means that pluto orbits a point outside of itself

Mars Pathfinder was a huge deal in the 90's. If anything it was more of a event than new horizons. Here you have full colour 360 panorama's on the the internet this thing we've only had for a few years, i think it was one of the most popular sites for a little while. New pictures almost every day. Then Spirit and Opportunity in the early 00's.

If you were so inclined it was always possible to be inspired. It has also always been possible to not care about any of this stuff. If anything it has gotten easier because there is even more information thrown at people all the time. Over here New horizons was maybe a 20 second bit on mainstream news programs (where they called it a planet and wondered if it was going to find life on pluto).

yeah pathfinder was the greatest and the real deal. i watched news about it every night when i was a kid. plus it was a cute as heck rover. i had a micro machine pathfinder toy and it owned.

across the universe all civilizations no matter how different from one another suffer the same fate: they reach a certain level of technological sophistication such that they hold within their capabilities the capacity to either destroy themselves or break free of the gravity well and expand to the stars and they all invariably choose the same fate they elect donald trump

Is this just the Pluto thread? Can it be used for other space news?

Because Kepler just discovered an awesome new habitable planet in the habitable zone that's one of the most earthlike planets yet found.
