Amen to that..
I watched the abc doco "Universe"...Prior to his death NASA asked Clyde Tombaugh for permission to visit his planet..and as a final wish Clyde Tombaugh requested that he visit Pluto..after which the capsule carrying his ashes would be placed on a nearby Kuiper Belt Object for all eternity.
In respect to him, the discoverer the of Planet "X"...leave history as it is.
