Yes, many times. It takes it 248 years to go around the Sun, and while it was not discovered until 1930, it has been there for millions of years.

Has any robot ever gone to Pluto?
No, no robot has gone to Pluto, other than the onboard computers of the New Horizons spacecraft, which observed Pluto from orbit.
Does planet Pluto have a satellite?
No, it is not true that Pluto has 7 satellites. Pluto actually has five known satellites which are Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra.
How many days does Pluto orbit the sun?
0.00403087 times in one year.248 earth years.Pluto revolves around the sun all the time. Even without ever stopping, it takes248 years to complete one revolution. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has madeless than 1/3 of a complete orbit around the sun.
Is there a man passing Pluto in the fastest space shuttle?
No. No space shuttle was ever built to leave orbit around Earth. The New Horizons space probe, an unmanned spacecraft, flew past Pluto in July 2015.
Do any of the major planets ever get further away from the sun than Pluto does?
Yes. Sometimes Neptune is father away from the sun than Pluto. Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune's. None of the other seven planets ever get farther away from the sun that Pluto.
Will Pluto ever float away?
No. Pluto has a stable orbit around the sun.
Who is the first human on Pluto?
No human has ever been to Pluto. In fact, no human has ever been beyond the Earth's orbit.

Did anybody ever walk on Pluto?
No. As of 2017, no human being has been beyond the orbit of the Earth.

What planets have orbits that cross?
inner planets <<>> Pluto has a very elliptical orbit and Pluto crosses inside the orbit of Neptune during its travel. However Pluto has a highly inclined orbit as well so there is no likelihood of a collision.
How many spacecraft have visited Pluto?
None, yet, although the "New Horizons" probe is on the way there now. It should make a fairly close pass by Pluto in July, 2015. It won't go into orbit; it's not possible to slow it down enough to enter orbit around such a tiny object. After that, the New Horizons probe will probably be tasked to swing by another Kuiper Belt object, but no decision as to which one has been announced.
Is Pluto knocked out because it is small?
No; Pluto's size is not the issue. It is large enough to have formed into a spheroid under the force of its own gravity. Pluto has not cleared its orbital neighborhood sufficiently in order to be considered a major planet. Pluto spends the great majority of its orbit in the Kuiper Belt, a large asteroid belt well beyond the orbit of Neptune. Furthermore, for all you Pluto fans, Pluto is still out there, and it is as interesting as it ever was. It has an almost wildly eccentric orbit that takes it on an orbital journey that lasts hundreds of years (about 248). It goes deep into an asteroid belt (Kuiper) on one end, and within the orbit of Neptune on the other end. It's quite a jazzy and spunky little rebel. See the link.
