We have an speed-amped spacecraft speeding towards Pluto that will get there in 5 1/2 years and have a few hours to study it as it whizzes by on it's way to the Oort Cloud and out of the Solar System...
New Horizons.
What it will show is several hundred photos and more data than a team of 20 astronauts could collect over days, back in the 70s.... The photos will be a lot better than the Hubble shots, which show Pluto is bright-dark splotchy with frozen atmosphere...

Candlepin bowling, like Amy Bishop, coming to a town near you!

Puttering around Pluto? But you think manned space flight is stupid.
I think you just wanted to say "puttering around Pluto".
