Send your name to Pluto
Posted at August 30, 2005 5:18 AM
If you haven't already heard, NASA is preparing to send its New Horizons probe to Pluto. The New Horizons probe will be launched in January 2006 to explore Pluto and the Kuiper belt and is expected that the probe will return to earth in approximately 50 thousand years.
In the mean time, you can send your name to pluto. Why? Because it's inane and you must be bored if you're reading this.
And if you're really bored, you can read up on Pluto and the relatively recent debate about whether Pluto should even be a planet or not at space.com. And keep in mind that was writen before 2003 UB313, which is even larger, was discovered in the Kuiper Belt.
