So pluto is back in our geography text books as the 9th planet

So, we found that pluto isn't that small a planet after all and that it has a heart shaped cloud formation on it. It cannot be ignored and that its worthy enough to be called a planet again. Thats great news. How far is pluto from earth? Billions of light years away. And we have the technology and the know how to look so far into space and identify an uninhabitable planet and some of its properties. It is proof of the technological prowess that we humans possess and also bigger proof that there is infact a creator, I call God, who made the entire universe. The whole big bang theory is something people made up when they couldn't explain how we all came into existence.

I'm just kidding, but yeah, it is proof that we are just a small insignificant little thing in this amazing universe. I'm reminded of what Calvin said in the famous cartoon strip Calvin and Hobes, he says that "The surest sign that there is intelligent life beyond the earth is that they didn't try to contact us".
I find that really funny and so true. We are only aware of the known universe, who knows what else is out there. There could really be aliens or another human race somewhere which is trying to achieve the same feat as we are.

Anyways, getting back to the matter at hand, the re-discovery of Pluto is celebration of the greatness of human beings and the incredible advancements we have made in the field of space technology. It is an incredible mark in human history, but where is the ill-fated MH370? 

Its been about a year I guess since this flight just disappeared into thin air and we still haven't found any evidence whatsoever that it has crash landed or about where it might be at this moment. My condolences to the family members who lost their loved ones in the flight. I feel they would live a more peaceful life if they could at-least get an answer about what exactly happened to the flight. After all closure in anything is so important. There are many rumors or in fact there are conclusions that the flight has crash landed somewhere, but where?

I find it utterly incredulous that we have the technological know how to find out about something in the unknown depths of space that to be frank doesn't have any significant impact on our lives, but we aren't able to use atleast a fraction of that same technology to find out about a missing flight somewhere on the known circumference of the earth. Its just beyond words.

Well that's just my thought after seeing all the news about Pluto.

P.S : This little write up, by no means takes away any credit that NASA deserves for this incredible feat. Its just a thought about how I (and im sure many more)  feel about MH370 mystery.

Peace :)
