All we need do is follow the underground caves until we are near the
heated swimming pool of an ocean. We will be quite comfortable--
and then when we come to the surface of Pluto to mine for diamonds
and gold--Charon and the other four moons will look beautiful in the
night time sky.

Sure, now tell us. How long it would take for your body to
freeze solid with the temperature running at -260 degrees F?


We wear heated space suits on the surface of Pluto,


What if the batteries ran out, what would happen to your
body with the temperatures running about -240 degrees F?


We put solar arrays on the surface of Pluto to recharge the batteries.



and underground it is already warm from geothermal heat.


Yes, now tell us what you would breathe since the
atmosphere is poisoned with carbon monoxide?



"us?" I only see one of you. There is a whole subterranean ocean of liquid water on Pluto. Where there is water the chemists can get oxygen.
