__//**Question**//__
What is required to allow something to live on Pluto?

=__//**Pluto**//__=
 * Primarily made of ice and rock
 * Orbital period is 248 years
 * A day in Pluto is equal to 6.39 days on Earth
 * Pluto's surface is made up of more than 98% nitrogen ice, with traces on methane and carbon monoxide
 * The temperature on Pluto is about -391 F, or -235 C, or 38 K
 * Pluto is about 40 times away from the sun at Earth
 * Pluto is 2/3 rock and 1/3 ice
 * Pluto has 5 moons named Charon, Kerberos, Styx, Nix, and Hydra
 * Pluto's moons spin faster than other moons. Hydra spins 89 times for each orbit around Pluto!
 * Pluto is 2,300 km wide, it's moon, Charon, is half Pluto's size
 * Atmosphere has a pressure of 10 microbars (millionths of 1 bar)
 * May have an ocean between the rocky core and icy surface
 * Surface has a pressure of about 3 to 100 microbars

=**//__Alien/Living Thing__//**=
 * Has to withstand extreme temperatures
 * Can move about on the ice and rock with no problem
 * Has to get food somehow
 * Doesn't have to breath oxygen
 * Would have to weigh 1050 Ibs on Earth to weigh 70.3 Ibs on Pluto

=**//__Possible Solutions__//**=
 * Molten tungsten/tungsten - has a melting point of 3695 Kelvin (K) and a boiling point of 6203 K; nitrogen ice proof
 * Blubber (lard as substitute) - produces body heat
 * Oobleck - changes between liquid and solid depending on pressure

**//__Hypothosis__//**
If blubber is strong enough to take on Pluto's extreme temperatures, then it can produce heat for itself.

//__**Procedure**__//

 * Use lard as a substitute for blubber
