Jared Isaacman, the current NASA Administrator, told a Senate committee last week that he's firmly in the camp of restoring Pluto's planet status. His words: "I am very much in the camp of 'make Pluto a planet again.'"
Pluto was kicked out of the planet club in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union, which decided planets need to "clear their orbital neighborhood." Since Pluto hangs out in the crowded Kuiper Belt, it got reclassified as a dwarf planet. Millions of people — and more than a few scientists — have been annoyed about it ever since.
What makes this different is that Isaacman isn't just venting. He says NASA is actively writing scientific papers to formally challenge the classification and push the debate back through the scientific community. They also want to make sure Clyde Tombaugh — the American who discovered Pluto in 1930 — gets proper recognition for his find.

So lets say you have a 747, and you need it to be able to turn to a certain direction, or fly like a real one and be able to fly custom waypoints. Or maybe just level off and hold an altitude in case you want to increase speed (like a motor on the elevator that could slightly pitch up/down) Would this be possible at all?
I envisioned this as being a sort of system that isnt a computer but just motors on the elevators that have keybinds with the throttle up/down that can turn and pitch the elevator up or down.
