In defense of Pluto as a planet
Aug. 27th, 2006 10:25 amAthena Scalzi, the daughter of Campbell-award winning science fiction author John Scalzi, has a strong and well-thought-out reply to Scott Westerfeld's arguments -- Scott is in favor of considering Pluto as simply a Kuiper Belt object, and Ms Scalzi is in favor of maintaining Pluto's current status.
John Scalzi has done her the favor of placing her videotaped argument up on his site, and it's available here. I encourage everyone to take a look at this -- whether you agree with Pluto's demotion or not, I think that Ms Scalzi has some very interesting points. It does require video and audio, though.
