I remember reading that the The Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space was planning to protest the launch as they did with Cassini. Apparently the probe will be carrying a cache of plutonium to power the onboard radioisotope thermoelectric generator.
C'mon people! I can't think of a more appropriate place to send PLUTOnium. Besides the more we send up there the less there is down here.
The craft will be doing a flyby of Jupiter enroute to Pluto so the nine-year voyage won't be completely dull.
