Am I the only one who could give a sh*t about Pluto? After 3 scrubs, NASA finally launched an unmanned space probe today to that planet. The spacecraft is called "New Horizons." Sounds like a re-hab place. Anyway, the thing's not going to get there until the year 2015 and when they get there they are going to study the ring of icy rocks around the planet. Now, I don't want to sound too down on NASA. It just seems a little -- how shall I say -- FRIVOLOUS considering there are thousands of people in the Gulf living in campers with no jobs.
