They are launching this rocket at 1:24pm EST. Its powered by 24 POUNDS of plutonium, and they are launching it about 123 miles away.

They say if it blows up in the air, it'll spread plutonium waste over a wide swath over central florida (Orlando, Lakeland (me) Tampa)...

So if something goes wrong, I'll GLOW! (Choc too!) Choc-glow! lol..

Its gonna be a fast launch craft! It'll be past the moon in 9 hrs and to Pluto in 2015! That is FAST!

Would it not be awesome if they could park a Hubble quality telescope near pluto and see if we can find more planets? They said they have found 2 other planetary bodies, yet small, or smaller than Pluto, and are not 'official' planets. (Sedna ect..)
