The human species made a poor historical record in its earthly attempts at colonization. The planetary prospects would require massive effort, planning and expense and would require decades of philosophical argument and debate. If humans hope to survive into the far distant future, then something less fragile then planet earth must be considered. The ethical, racial and religious conflicts that are devisive today will pale in comparison to the division of the gene pool allocation for planetary colonists. This is no small event. It will happen with near scientific certainty (assuming that planet earth sticks around long enough for science and technology to work out the few remaining wrinkles.) In opposition, some will use the argument that humans should not fool with Mother Nature. Some cite their religion of the apocalypse as pre-ordained. Others may well postulate, and in a serious and believeable manner, that these concerns should not exist at all: We are the gene pool set aside as a reserve for the people of some far distant galaxy.
There is no evidence the US is going to "colonize" any planet, including Mars and Venus. But there is, and has been, a longstanding interest in learning more about other planets. In fact, for more than six decades, US presidents have promoted (some more than others) space exploration; and the US space program, directed by NASA, has received funding from congress. In the late 1960s, the US finally put a man on the moon. Since then, there has been talk of missions to Mars, and perhaps other planets as well. But again, this is not about colonizing-- this is about understanding the universe better and learning more about the various planets in our solar system.
You can walk on any of the inner planets. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) you cannot walk on; they are made entirely of gas. This is only a guess, but Pluto is probably solid enough to walk on.
If man were to colonize mars and terraform it (raising the temperature and creating an atmosphere, add oxygen and co2) mars could host life.
Things on this list- -harvests moonrocks -studies conditions on other planets -discovers the "martian question"'s answer (possibly) -puts its training to the test (real thing)
No planet known to man is a perfect sphere (also that I know) so dwarf planets can definitely be any shape
We can only speculate. man should continue to adapt until our Sun burns out. When minerals are depleted here, we will mine them from other planets. I think eventually we will colonize.
I don't think its possible to colonize Venus
Absolutely. We will colonize the rings inside five years.

on Earth it's 24 but I'm not sure about other planets
John Cabot
scientist have not yet sent men to other planets.
The English. But the first man to colonize here was Thomas Hooker

it is still unknown to man kind if their are other living things on other planets. some people believe there is and some don"t. if the government knows about other life on planets their hiding it
Astronomers has been going to some of the planets. The advanced telescope can observe the planets more closely. and the satellites has been agthering pictures and datat from the space.
Man has never been to any other planets. We have, however, been to the moon.
