well in their defence they had no idea what pluto was when they named it a planet. it was a faint object bairly veiwable but they could plot a orbit and it was close to the rest of our planets. it has a "moon" so naturally we thought it was a planet. once they found its mainly the same composition as a comet, just a very large one and its moon was the same type of object only smaller, we had to rethink what pluto was. they finally decided to remove its planet status, it just took them a while. im glad they did, i really wana see the exploration into space go as fast as possible and if we dont change what we usta know into what we do know our progress will be much slower, which is not good for anyone
