I think it would depend on *why* Pluto blew up.
If hit with a missle, NASA would be begging for that technology, we cant get satalites to go out that far.
If it was another reason, it might throw the whole scientific community into an uproar. Is there something in the planet that caused it to go boom? did something hit it? Did a chemical reaction take place to distroy the whole planet?
Mass and energywise, It wouldnt throw the whole milkyway out of wack. In fact, the Galaxy and universe has several supernova's (stars much larger than the sun that explode) and they dont affect the milky way in general, just their local area.
