There Are Mysterious Objects as Tall as Skyscrapers on Pluto. Now Scientists Know Why!

A Manned Mission to Pluto?

While most of the space community is currently focused on a manned mission to Mars, there are quite a few people who have suggested Pluto as a potential candidate to send astronauts to. NASA does plan to send a robotic Pluto lander to the planet’s surface next, but a monumental discovery could alter those plans.

However, there are some facts to consider. With our current propulsion systems, it would take 10-15 years to get a man to Pluto. The longest anyone has remained in space is 437 days and no small, self-contained biosphere has lasted longer than two years in space.

While the possibility is certainly there…the truth is current technology isn’t quite there yet.
