    It would make a great hard-science, science fiction story. A rebirth of life
    a few billion miles from the sun, in the remote future.

    Harvey Newstrom:
    <<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>>

    The main thing I think the author is interested in (guessing) is the search
    for life in some unlikely places, like the distant orbit zones of very-late
    sequence stars.
