My personal definition of planet:
oh boy
The world’s biggest ball of string is now a planet.
As it should be! Big boy is round!
I think it should be “big enough to hypothetically hold an atmosphere”.
I’m going to boycott nasa. Go woke go broke.

I could see trump getting rid of NASA for his own space agency and he’d call it SASA. Super awesome space agency.
