Pluto debate solved

[megatiger78]

If we attach enough engines we can make it a spaceship.

and ram it into Kepler 452-b to deal with aliens.

and before this we detach the colony we added at the same time as the engines, and land it later after the planet cools down.

so now we have killed aliens, and dealt with the pluto debate, because it is now neither a planet nor a dwarf planet. it is a spaceship.

Future Death Star. We could have it patrol the galaxy snowballing any world that dares to defy our mighty will. The humilitation of being snowballed from behind would suffice to make sure everybody in the galaxy bows to [WT_ the original OPs nick is]. We will also have a giant space tether that gives wedgies to any upstart planet that tries to rise up. (Bawa hah hah hah hah hah, snort).

we use it as fuel. much better idea.

I once recomended hiting Venus with Pluto. gracing blow but deeper than the one who created the moon, enough to generate some spin it will also add water.

Nice that someone come up with an better idea.

We should contain them into a tarball and make them proper second moon, which we can mine.

What the heck am I looking at?

As the science to do this does not exist yet, the thread has been relocated to the off-topic lounge.

Your comma, placement needs some refinement

Wait, let me wrap my head around this for a second.

You want to turn our former-ninth-planet into a killer death ship by running it into Kepler 452-B?

...okay, so here's what we would need:

• Permission from all governments on Earth to allocate a great deal of their resources (and some of their population) to even attempt a project like this.

• Rockets far bigger than the largest ones ever constructed to ferry engines and bits of colony ship to Pluto.

• Some fuel source for the engines. While burning the H₂O on Pluto would probably cause it to leave the solar system, it would be hundreds of thousands of years before we reached Kepler 452-B. It would probably be better to bring some form of propulsion instead. Ion engines would be nice and efficient, but since you're suggesting a hare-brained scheme already, I'd go with Project Orion-style nuclear bombs pushed out of the back. That way, any unexploded bombs left at the end of the mission would also put a little more kick into the explosion.

• A good knowledge of Kepler 452-B's population and climate. Does Kepler 452-B actually have any creatures on the surface: it too hot or cold for anything other than extremophilic bacteria? We'd also need to know that there was a species on Kepler 452-B that really needed to die.

• A good knowledge of what happens after large impacts. I understand that Kepler 452-B would lose most of its existing species, whatever they were. But would it ever cool down (or at least, cool down in less than a few million years) from a Charon-sized impact?

If we had all of these things (and all of this knowledge), I would say go for it! It would give us a very good sense of Pluto's geology, it would give us humans another world to live on, and best of all, it would mean the end of all of these worthless is-Pluto-a-planet debates.

I'd be willing to give you seven Nobel Peace Prizes, a million bajillion dollars, and a pony for this idea. I'm sure I stashed all of that stuff somewhere...

no direct profit ? who will do something like that seriously xDr

[ChrisSpace]

New plan: Bring every dwarf planet in the solar system as well as all their moons into one spot, and then merge them together into one single planet, and then claim that it's too big not to be a planet.

then ram that into the first aliens we see.

i m not sure he will be aggree xDr
