Its Name Is Far Out

a new dwarf planet... announced only this past year... "hello...distance here... eleven...billion... miles away...orbiting now... just off to one side... gravity well...yes... twenty two billion miles wide... a spin round the sun... it is some wonder... the gravity well does stretch... half way...the next star... eleven billion... just a drop in the bucket... thousand year orbits... humans are dreamers... lifetimes amounting to what... 'castles'...in the air... stan sand

it's just an indicator that we won't reach the stars with our technologies...it would take centuries just to get beyond our suns gravity well, let alone to another star

Stan, I love your dreamers haiku's. Humanity has to look to the future and to space as this world is being destroyed.

thanks...another dwarf planet really was found...but we need to take the so called leaders (morons who deny reality) from office and institute psychological and intellectual tests for prospective leaders...this planet is not their personal property...neither are the people
