It all depends what you define as a planet.
There are more than 8 or 9 though as somebody said although not in our solar system.

exactly, but pluto is not recognised as a planet now. it's been recatagorised as a dwarf planet along with Ceres and Elis 
quote: From 1930 to 2006, Pluto ( ), one of the largest known Kuiper belt objects, was considered the Solar System's ninth planet. However, in 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) created an official definition of the term "planet"[5]. Under this definition, Pluto is reclassified as a dwarf planet, and there are eight planets in the Solar System. In addition to Pluto, the IAU currently recognizes two other dwarf planets: Ceres ( ) , the largest asteroid, and Eris, which lies beyond the Kuiper belt in a region called the scattered disc. Of the known dwarf planets, only Ceres has no moons.
see, there are 11, but 3 dont count, so there are only 8 
random.

Yes third world countries don't need money.
It's not the country that's ungrateful though.
Its the corrupt leaders.

Space exporation is vital for future generations anyway.
If humans don't eventually get out of this solar system the race will be gone.
