Constructive for what?????

First of all, Pluto is not at all a threat to our planet. It is over 100 million miles away, and is not very big. If we were to just randomly blow it up, what good or bad will it do? Nothing. Second, If you want to blow up Pluto, would blowing up any other planet make a difference? And third, building equipment for things like that requires SHIAT loads of money. You need like 5 teams of rocket scientists to compensate the rate of travel and getting the missile to go that far without radio breaking to overview the status of Pluto. So no, leave Pluto the way it is, it's not going to do anything.

First off Pluto is much farther than you think, for blowing Pluto up would do absolutely no good. For instance, there may be some things we would still like to learn from Pluto.
Secondly, I believe Astronomers are trying to change the definition of a planet to make pluto a planet.

I am puzzled by your use of the word "constructive." In what way would blowing Pluto up be constructive?
Given the total size of Pluto, what kind of device or product would you wish to use which might succeed in demolishing an object that large?
Having demolished the object Pluto by changing it into millions and millions of ice and rock fragments of various sizes which will hurtle through space in multiple trajectories for eons of time, what kind of umbrella or protective shield would you suggest might be errected over the Earth to prevent its bombardment by some of those chunks of debris?

And what are you going to blow it up with? A hydrogen bomb?
That would leave a nice crater on the surface, a bit of radioactivity and a slight increase in local temperature that you would need a particularly sensitive infra-red instrument to detect after 24 hours or so. In other words, the planet would hardly notice. Now go and tidy up your room, boy.

but its not a piece of ice, its a frozen world and besides why would we blow it up? we have a spacecraft headed for pluto right now called new horizons so we can learn about it,,

For a start Pluto orbits at an average of 3000,000,000 miles from the Sun.
Second; It has a rocky core, (given size and gravitational effect we can determine its density).
Thirdly: That is typical of american attitudes, "Oh look, lets destroy it!"
Take your medication and have a quiet nap.

Pluto is lovely you leave it alone!!
If you blew it up wouldn't that affect all the other planets. Stop being such a bully, go pick on a planet your own size.
