SpacePod: Make Pluto a Planet Again

The debate over Pluto's planethood has resurfaced, and some prominent scientists have a few things to say about it.
We all remember what we were doing the day Pluto got kicked out of the solar system's planet club. This happened after it was reclassified from planet to dwarf planet in 2006 when the IAU decided it did not meet the criteria to be considered a planet. Well, New Horizons principle investigator Dr. Alan Stern and astrobiologist David Grinspoon recently declared in a Huffington Post article that Pluto's reclassification was indeed, a mistake.
