Pluto is only 2/3 the size of our moon (at only 2,320km across), and of all official planets and minor planets, Pluto has the largest orbit around the sun because it is the furthest from the sun. Due to its extreme distance from Earth, there have been no spacecraft sent to observe it more closely. Even a mission by remote unmanned spacecraft would cost several billion dollars, and the information obtained from such a mission would likely be insignificant compared to missions to Mars. Due to its size and comparatively small distance from Earth, Mars has much greater potential benefit for humanity than Pluto. The distance from Earth to Mars is only 3.8% the distance from Earth to Pluto, and it still takes between four and seven months to get to Mars.
What else can I help you with?
How long would it take a rocket to travel from Pluto to the sun?
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
Has an aircraft been to the planet Pluto yet?
Aircraft travel through the air, not through space, so they can't go to Pluto. No spacecraft have been to Pluto yet, although one is on the way.
How long would it take sound waves to reach Pluto?
Sound waves can't travel through space.
Did any space shuttle gone to Pluto?
No, no space shuttle has gone to Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft is the only mission to date that has flown by Pluto, passing close to the dwarf planet in 2015 and providing scientists with valuable data and images.

What space missions have visited Pluto?
Currently, there are no space mission that have involved the landing on Pluto. New Horizons; will be doing a fly-by of Pluto in the near future.It will be closest to Pluto on July 14, 2015.
What are scientists doing to learn about Pluto?
what they are doing is that they're gonna send a space probe to travel to Pluto. as it launched in 2006 it will finally reach Pluto in July 14, 2015. because it takes a few years to get to Pluto. and in 2009 today my prediction of where it is right is it is somewhere traveling past Uranus right now.
How long does it take to get to Pluto from the US on a space shuttle?
It would take a space shuttle several years to reach Pluto from the US. The exact duration would depend on the speed of the spacecraft and its trajectory. Current technology would require several decades to make such a journey.
The preface from the pluto files?
The Preface from the Pluto Files is a book. This book is about space.
Have space crafts visited Pluto?
No
What is the travel time it would take someone from earth to get to Pluto?
With modern space crafts about 20 years but maybe in the future scientists well make a new space craft that well get us there a lot sooner.
