Not until we develop hundreds of years worth of technology.

Currently, man-made space shuttles are not designed for long-term space travel. At best, they are designed for orbiting our own planet and the moon.

To be able to visit Neptune, it would take years to develop a shuttle capable of travelling out that far. Then it will take a matter of more years to actually get to the planet since it is so far away.

There is also the issue of temperature. Neptune is absolutely freezing, currently, any human who gets close to Neptune would freeze in seconds. Electrical equipment such as surface exploration drones and landing space shuttles would freeze and malfunction.

So, with our current technology, no, astronauts cannot even get close to Neptune.

However, Neptune can be explored with orbital unmanned satellites.

No. Astronauts have only been as far as our Moon, not to any planets.

The only close look at Neptune came when the Voyager 2 space probe passed the planet in 1989.

(see the related link)

The nearest to Earth that Neptume can ever be is almost 12,000 times as far

as the moon. Maintaining the same average speed as the Apollo missions to

the moon, the trip to Neptune would take 96 years. And if anybody went there,

the job would only be half done, as they'd probably want to come back and

show us their photos.

No. No person has ever gone farther from Earth than the far side of the moon.
