Wasn't a real demotion, just a re categorization. Our understanding of 'planet' has changed a bunch since 1930. If pluto is a major planet, then we have 26 and more to come, if it's a dwarf planet, then we have 8 major and 22 dwarfs with more to come. There currently is a very, very likely change on the horizon to change pluto to a 'binary planet' as Simon mentioned in the video.

Man, the outer solar system is peak awesome. These distant worlds speak to the imagination in ways that few other things can. The Kuiper belt being so distant is a curse however, it takes a decade to get there. I have high hopes for the Persephone mission. New Horizons was something that I spend a good chunk of my developing years anxiously waiting for. I bored so many people to tears gushing about how cool that mission was. Let's hope that we make some good progress at getting things to the outer solar system faster, way faster. I'd like to see these worlds get studied before I end up back in diapers.

Astronomer who discovered Pluto’s moon wanted to name it after wife. Naming council said, “No. That’s crass.” Astronomer: “Ok Ok. I’ll name it Charon from Greek mythology. In theme with Pluto, he carries the souls of those who have been given funeral rites across the rivers Acheron and Styx, which separate the worlds of the living and the dead.” Council: “Whew. Thanks, that’s better. By the way, what is your wife’s name anyway?” Astronomer: “It’s Sharon.” Maybe true story. I heard this from my 8th grade science teacher.

Big reason the new mission will take so long isn't that it MUST go slower by definition but that its budget has been seriously underfunded to where it can't be launched on a rocket large enough to carry the fuel and engines needed to go faster. Economics, not fundamental physics, determine the speed at which it will fly. It's like your employer saying you'll get funding to lease an e-bike for your 50km commute because they won't give you the budget for a car.

Expect to see the definition(s) of planets to continue to change as astronomers continue discovering strange new worlds beyond our solar system that challenge our preconceptions. My personal take is we'd do well to accept the inevitable: that we have a hellavua lot of planets in our own system with multiple ways of classifying them: inner/outer/kuiper, rocky/gas/icy, etc. If we want to keep it simple: if it's round and its barycenter with an satellites falls within its solid surface (or point where atmospheric is equal to earth at sea level) just call it a planet and be done with it.

space travel always trips me out… this isn’t the same as going to the edge of our solar system by any means, but reminds me of the scenario where a ship full of people in cryo sleep is sent to a vastly distant planet only to find a human colony already set up upon arrival. This being because after a few hundred years technology had advanced far enough to get a ship there exponentially quicker than the one sent generations prior. 😂

There's one reason the Kuiper object known as Pluto is so popular: American chauvinism. It was the only solar system planet discovered by an American until it was declared "not a planet".

Way back in the early 80s when there was talk about the possibility of 'planet X', it was given the provisional name of Persephone, I wonder why that never panned out...

You'd think by the time we're ready to launch Persephone, there will be more advanced propulsion available. Even a hard probing of Uranus would benefit from more thrust.
