Can we travel to any other planets?
In short, a visit to another planet by a human crew is possible, but some are easier to explore than others. Each planet is different and has a unique set of challenges. For example, the largest planet in our Solar System, Jupiter, is a ‘gas giant’ mainly composed of hydrogen and helium gas.

Is it possible to walk on Venus?
Walking on Venus Venus is very similar to Earth in terms of size, so walking on this planet would feel very similar to walking here. Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar system because the heat is trapped in its dense atmosphere due to a greenhouse effect.
Can humans live on Neptune?
Similar to most planets, Neptune is a volatile world with no solid surfaces. Besides, the desolate planet is no place for human life.
Can humans survive on other planets?
The only way for humans to survive is to colonize at least one other planet, possibly Mars, says futurist Michio Kaku. Photograph by NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), J. Bell (ASU), and M. Wolff (Space Science Institute)
Can we send people to Mars with the technologies we already have?
Things progressed beyond that in 1969 when Neil Armstrong left Earth’s orbit with the Apollo II space mission to land on the Moon. Today NASA has realistic plans with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to send people to Mars with the technologies we already have.
Is it possible to do a Quint on Mars?
No one has ever done a quint. However, on Mars the gravity is only 30 percent of Earth, so one day we may have an Olympics on Mars where people could do four, five, six, seven rotations in the air, and ballet, or acrobatics, and gymnastics.
What would it be like to go hiking on Mars?
Temperatures can soar to a rather uncomfortable 470 degrees Celsius — even hotter than Mercury — due to an extreme greenhouse effect, where the thick atmosphere traps the Sun’s heat. And the weight of all that thick cloudy atmosphere would make hard work of hiking on the planet’s rocky surface, says Dr Duffy.
