Can you land on the moons of the outer planets?
Currently, technology is not at the point where devices carrying humans can reach other planets. Our moon is the farthest a human has ever been from Earth. However, if this technology ever develops farther, we could theoretically land on some of the outer planet's moons. Io, for example, is one of Jupiter's moons. It is made of solid rock and is therefore sturdy enough to land a spacecraft on.
