Speaking of which, why didn't we just use that technology to get to Pluto in a week instead of almost a decade?

What, you think NASA tells the public everything they know about space travel? Of COURSE we can get to Pluto in a couple days at most...they reverse engineered the alien spaceship that crashed at Roswell and figured out how to build the engines. They've been able to fly around the entire solar system for a decade or more. That's how they keep hiding Planet X from view (the explanation for this leap of logic has been left intentionally blank).
