What is your favorite planet and why?

Mine is Pluto. Yes, Pluto-- it shall always be a planet to me. As a child I was most fascinated by Pluto picturing it as purple-blue-black moon covered in all the debris from the Big Bang: Gold, Carbon, Silver, Boron, Neon all trapped in its thick ice surface.

Pluto stand as a sentinel at the edge of our solar system watching over the rotation and movement of the inner regions; silent, dark, and alone. Long live Pluto!

I picked Saturn because of the beautiful rings and colors it puts out.

Oh well, mine is Mercury and for the obvious reasons...

Give me Barsoom.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I've always liked Barsoom, too. Many authors made many great stories about it!

To Tame a Land

He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow.

He rules the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow.

He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune.

Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune.

Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis.

It is a land that's rich in spice
The sandriders and the "mice"
That they call the "Muad'Dib".

He is the Kwizatz Haderach.
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar.

He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars

The time will come for him
to lay claim his crown,
And then the foe yes
they'll be cut down,
You'll see he'll be the
best that there's been,
Messiah supreme
true leader of men,
And when the time
for judgement's at hand
Don't fret he's strong
and he'll make a stand,
Against evil and fire
That spreads through the land,
He has the power
to make it all end.
