It depends on how fast your rocket is going. There is a space probe on its way to Pluto now. It is called the New Horizons mission and it will be the first time we have sent a craft to Pluto. It was launched January 19, 2006 and it will arrive at Pluto in July of 2015. It is the fastest spacecraft ever launched yet it will still take 9 1/2 years to reach Pluto.

A space probe will take around 10 years to reach Pluto.

How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach saturn?
At the Shuttle's maximum speed of about 30,000 km/hr, it would take more than 16 years to reach Pluto. The "New Horizons" spacecraft was launched by NASA in 2006 and reached a new record velocity for spacecraft, more than 58,000 km/hr. It was further accelerated by a gravity assist from Jupiter in 2007. Even so, it will be June, 2015 before it reaches Pluto, a total mission time of 9 1/2 years.
