God if would love it if someone took the time to answer each and every question seen here!

What are the results of Hubble searching for KBOs ? Is the search already over? When will possible candidates be announced?

What Chance would you give Philae to wake up again, telling from your gut instincts?

Why should Pluto be classified as a planet again? Except for it being the first KBO to be discovered (and New Horizons visiting), it doesn't seem to fit in well:

• It has a highly eccentric orbit , with its perihel being under Neptunes perihel
• Its orbital plane is at ~17° , far more than what our 8 planets have
• It needs to have “cleared the neighborhood” of its orbit (This I personally find a little silly, but it's what the IAU says)
• There are many other KBOs in our solar system (with Eris being larger than Pluto), so shouldn't many of those then be classified as planets aswell? It would seem to me that this would lead to a ridiculous amount of planets, especially with many more KBOs waiting to be discovered.

I understand that many Pluto enthusiasts have embosomed the former planet into their hearts, and are infuriated by the IAUs decision, but I don't think it's fair.

So tell me: What are your arguments in "favor" of Pluto?
