Neat Link! Thanks, Den!

Did you notice the Neil Armstrong speach listed on the page? :)

This fellow is saying what you were saying about removing Pluto from the planet list. I like his theory, though. "If it's spherical due to gravity, then it's a planet." I don't mind a solar system with hundreds of planets. 8)

I liked Armstrong's speech. It's easy to forget he flew X15s and Gemini missions.

I'd like to see a permanent orbital station; a proper one, not the ISS. And I want to see stations on the Moon. Let's see about Mars after then. I think it's a little early to be planning that mission.

Speaking of Lunar stations, have you seen these? North Pole site (http://www.spacedaily.com/news/lunar-04l.html) and South Pole site (http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/moon_southpole_030604.html)

I guess the moon is a planet then.

While you're not the first who has satelite argument on that premise, I don't think you can planet that way.
