I believe Pluto should be reclassified a planet again and I would have to consider Ceres. An object I bet 99.9% percent of the population doesn't even know exists in our solar system. (Not to mention whats beyond Pluto) I think there's a bias in the scientific community whom are reluctant to adding planets.

Perhaps a new thread was needed rather than changing the title of this one, rendering the first posts off-topic.
I thought ppl would get upset if I posted multiple science threads so I would just have one "Science" thread and update it. Then again maybe nobody reads this stuff anyway!
I guess I'm sold on ion drives. Two very controlled visitations from one platform is nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't say how much delta-v the propulsion system is capable of, ie. what the maximum fuel allowance actually is? I get that the drive delivers a little push for longer 'burn' durations. What is the reliability of an ion drive - have any missions been scuppered due to propulsion failures?
