@sbergman27 – Might be better to say America’s? Most Powerful Rocket at this time” Yes, Saturn V was the stud of rockets (insert picture of Saturn V kicking sand in smaller/lesser rockets’ faces). Pity our short-sighted space policies do not have a Really Large DR in inventory.

02:30 – The narrator does take a little license here, “America’s Most Powerful Rocket” has only a quarter of the capacity America’s most powerful rocket had in 1969. Voyager 1 (launched 1977) is traveling about as fast as NH, has traveled faster in the past, and will? be traveling faster than NH upon leaving the solar system. Helios 1&2 (launched 1974&1976) regularly travel *way* faster.

Pluto is strange in this solar system because the terrerstrial planets are four and inner. The gas giant are four and outer. But there is still the chance of a rock planet way out there? Yes, cuz the kuiper? belt.

I think for every new Oort? cloud object we find [like Sedna] we should name them after Inuit gods- like Sedna.

I agree with you wratched, I just don’t like how the entire world is forced to acknowledge the praise of the Roman culture in naming all of the original 9 planets, sorry I still believe Pluto to be a planet regardless of what the IAU says. But the? names are set in stone, so what can you do? At the very least, we could change Uranus to Ouranous, and stop the silly nonsense about pronouncing the name wrong.

Actually, the Babylonians studied the planets before the Greeks. Naming planets after people doesn’t work; Herschel and Le Verrier both tried? it when they found Uranus and Neptune, but other countries complained that they didn’t want to have planets named after someone from England/France. We don’t always use Roman gods; Eris is named after a Greek goddess and Makemake and Haumea are both named after Polynesian gods.
