Technically the concept of a planet is a social construct. Scientists have been scurrying around redefining the definition of a planet to exclude asteroids ever since they discovered them. Why can’t they just say that the Earth is a wet asteroid and be done with it?

I could see trump getting rid of NASA for his own space agency and he’d call it SASA. Super awesome space agency.

My personal definition of planet:
The world’s biggest ball of string is now a planet.
As it should be! Big boy is round!
oh boy
I think it should be “big enough to hypothetically hold an atmosphere”.
