Woohoo! Remember that Pluto is just one of many thousands of such
Trans-Neptunian objects. It won't be just Pluto, but thousands of
inhabitable worlds with water, hydrogen, oxygen, hydrocarbons, and lots of
space in between them. About 10% of these are double worlds. Also, most of
these worlds are older than the Earth, having formed long ago. These worlds
also have pretty good gravity for their size, since the surfaces are closer
to their center of mass. All in all, these little fixer-uppers may be the
future of some transhumanist ghetto after the Earth is gone. They also make
a perfect stepping stone from the edge of our solar system toward other
stars. As many of you already know, I am a big fan of colonizing this outer
ring of worlds.
