Pluto

We have just watched a TV program about the New Horizons probe to Pluto. Obviously, I have not been keeping up with space exploration.

Pluto has:

a thin atmosphere
mountains
organic materials
a source of heat
underground water

I have also not kept up with sf. Has anyone written a story about the new Pluto as we imagine that Poul Anderson, if he were still alive, might well have done?

Nope. I'm not up to it -- Poul really -understood- the sciences.

Kaor, Paul and Mr. Stirling!

Paul: I make some FAINT effort of keeping up with some of this kind of science by dropping by the CENTAURI DREAMS website. Albeit, many of the articles there are above my intellectual pay grade!

Mr. Stirling: Poul Anderson certainly did understand the sciences!

Ad astra! Sean
