At some point, eventually. But Venus is more than 100 times farther than the Moon even when it is closest to Earth. It would take a long flight to reach there and return, and the technology barely exists to survive the crushing pressure and incredible heat on the surface of Venus. Soviet landers have functioned for no more than 2 hours in those conditions.
It may be easier to establish a "floating" scientific base in the upper atmosphere, where it is cooler. The problem there is that the winds will carry your base around the planet as the atmosphere circulates. That and the droplets of sulfuric acid that form the clouds.

∙ 14y agoMercury's night side is very cold. It is possible we might land there for a few months. It is unlikely humans would ever land on Venus. It is very hot, under a suffocating and poisonous atmosphere. If we could move Venus away from the sun, there might be terraforming tricks to make it more hospitable. The other option would be to redesign humans. But the alterations necessary to survive on Venus would likely be significant enough we would no longer be considered "human."

What planet would be the most impossible planet to land on?
In order to land on a planet, it has to have a solid outer crust. The only planets in the solar system with a solid outer core are the 4 inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars). The planets outside the Asteroid Belt are composed primarily of gas, which would make any landing impossible on those planets.
Is Planet Mercury dangerous for humans to land on?
No
What planets have had people land on them?
The Earth is the only planet people have landed on. Humans have landed on Earth's Moon and have landed robotic probes on the surfaces of Mars, Venus, and Saturn's Largest moon Titan.
What other planet besides earth can you land on?
Other than the earth, so far we've landed people on the moon, and landed robot probes on Mars and Venus and Mercury. The condions of the out planets mean a landing there is not likely soon, but we may be able to land on some of their moons.
Are there any satellites on mercury?
No. Venus has no natural satellites. The same goes for Mercury. See the related link for more information.
What are the 7 big crustal planets?
Solid or terrestrial planets are those whose primary mass is land. The terrestrial planets in the Earth's solar system include Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
How does the mass of Jupiter compare with that of the other planets?
Of the 8 planets, Jupiter has most mass. Venus is 6th in the list. Only Mars and Mercury have less mass. The full list, from biggest mass to smallest mass, is : Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury.
What is a terestrial?
land planets.....Mercury earth, etc....

Which planets have been visited?
None of the 7 other planets in the solar system have been landed upon by humans. All of them have had space probes perform flybys to study and map them. Only Mars and Venus have had unmanned landers land on them.
Is Planet Mercury dangerous for humans to land on?
No
What planets can you land on?
The only planets you can land on is Earth which we live and Mars because it has an atmosphere, the moon you can land on but no atmosphere. You cannot land on Mercury because its too close to the sun you will burn or freeze to death, you cannot land on Venus because its so hot and has a thick atmosphere and you would last a few minutes before you get crushed. You can't land on the 4 outer planets because they are just gas giants. Pluto is also a gas giant but is not classified as a planet anymore.
What are three similarities among the inner planets?
Compared to the outer planets (gas giants), the four inner planets are small, have a greater average density, and receive most of their heat from the Sun. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are compact rocky planets, with a solid surface rather than a thick atmosphere. Their masses give them less gravity, but they contain a greater percentage of heavy elements, such as iron and zinc, than the larger planets. Without the Sun's radiation, their surfaces would be considerably cooler, as can be seen by the lower temperatures on Mars compared to Mercury and Venus.

What is Saturn's lanscape?
Saturn is one of the gas giants and does not have a land surface in the way Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars do.
