As we used to say 'that's a long walk from here.'
I hope when they name it, they'll stick to the mythologic theme and not name it after someone.

What I'm finding interesting is that all of the analysis is saying that this thing is at most 70% the size of Pluto, but every media story I've seen is pushing the initial thought that it might be bigger.

What we really have to worry is Disney exerting its proprietary option in the naming (what, you thought Pluto was named after the Greek guy? Product placement, folks-!).
