In any case, it slays me that one of my best old friends from my undergraduate days absolutely detests Neil degrasse Tyson because, as an amateur astronomer, he feels that degrasse Tyson basically robbed him of Pluto.
Tyson, apparently, was part of the team that decided that Pluto was not actually a planet.
It upset my friend, but I think that it is funny as hell.
I tell you, tho, we're getting ready to leave the Solar System and that means I do not really know where we are going.
Woof, woof

ReplyDeleteI am not certain.
DeleteCould it be Earth?
