Pluto - Sixty Symbols

Demoted as a planet, Pluto is still a fascinating object surrounded in mystery. And it was NOT named after the dog! More films at http://www.sixtysymbols.com/

Dear scientists of Earth, your mom though I was big enough.

Sincerely Pluto

It's ok Pluto, I'm not a planet either

An interesting fact for those of you that don't know it. - The "New Horizons" spacecraft (which will reach Pluto in 2015) actually has onboard some of Clyde Tombaugh's ashes. How fitting for the man who discovered Pluto to ride along on our first visit to it.

@TheSteady0 You are completely correct except for that they didn't want radioactive matter in space because they didn't want it exploding and raining radioactive debris into the atmosphere. They don't care if the radioactivity is only spread into space.

[Nadeeja94]

@TheSteady0 Space is already radioactive, a mere nuclear blast won't do any harm at all...

[TheSteady0]

@mojo9o I believe that's exactly what Project Orion was about, using nuclear thrust to gain high speeds. But later on after a debate, it got banned since it spread radioactivity in space :/

@mojo9o It's possible to direct a nuclear blast with conventional materials. The thing is that nuclear explosions are highly inefficient.

and surely beautiful and maybe lifechanging to have ... walked on it? Good luck with a suit that can withstand it. It's probably much large... or you'd have to stay on the ship. You'd probably need a nuclear thrust just to get across the other planets just to get to pluto on time... THERE AND BACK! I was imagining a nuclear bomb will work like nitros. Surely, that's a thought crossed, but highly dangerous... and what material can withstand such explosion?

It's okay Pluto I still love you!!! <3

Pluto is fake and gay

If I remember right, if Pluto's size classified it as a planet, there would be 14 planets in our solar system. So; eight without it, or 14 with it. Kinda ruins the sentence they tried to teach to people for remembering the planets and their order - "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming *(planets) removed* "
