Re: Moon?

I don't see how Pluto could be a satellite of Neptune if it doesn't orbit it. Also because Pluto Crosses Neptune's orbital path I think we need to declassify Neptune as a planet because it hasn't cleared its path around the sun. When some say there are moons bigger then Pluto so they should be planets. NO these moons orbit a planet Pluto orbits the sun. Mercury is just a little bigger than our moon so it should be classified as a moon orbiting the sun. Ganymede is 3273 miles in diameter mercury is 3032 miles in diameter. again Mercury is a moon orbiting the sun. Mars is 4212 miles in diameter so its not a planet it is a moon that escaped Jupiter's gravity. So its just all stupid Pluto is a planet, its just a small planet. We are so privileged. This generation is the first humans to set eyes on this amazing planet. For me its special I'm over 60 yrs old and most of my life Pluto was the 9th planet. I never dreamed I'd live to see it. So let me go on believing that Pluto is a planet. I envy you young people you will probably see man set foot on Mars. Maybe see habitats with humans living and growing crops It will be an amazing time. I love space so much but was born in the wrong era.
