Jupiter would be but not for a long time, because it costs lots of money, we still need technology to advance for it. It is an interesting place to go though. It has a very weird moon called Io and a moon called Europa that could harbor life! We would also go there to study its gigantic red storm and to do lots of experiments. We definitely wont live there for at least 70 years.
no because of the heat and all the gas.
We can't colonize it because we can't land on it.
Any actual trip to earth's moon that includes humans orbiting the moon or visiting the surface would be called a manned lunar mission.
None. We have not had a manned mission to Mercury yet. The space shuttle would be unable to make that type of trip.
Training,faster space craft,heat shields
A good thesis statement for a research essay titled, "Is it worth the risk and expense to attempt a manned mission to Mars", could be, "The knowledge and strategic advantage of a manned mission to Mars far outweighs the cost and risks".
No because if a mission would land there you would instantly die because it is a gas planet.
That would be Alan B. Shepard, who was also the first American in space.
Apollo 1 was not actually scheduled to even travel to the moon, let alone land. Had the mission actually gone off, it would have fulfilled essentially the same mission later accomplished my Apollo 7 (the first manned mission using Apollo equipment). Apollo 7 was an 11-day Earth-orbital mission, the first manned launch of the Saturn IB launch vehicle, and the first three-person US space mission. This would have been the mission of Apollo 1.
Using current technology, it would take a minimum of 3 years for a manned or unmanned mission to reach Uranus one-way. However, a manned mission would also require designing spacecraft systems that do not currently exist.
As one of my physics teacher once told me anything is possible in the future. However, Jupiter is a gas planet, therefore a manned mission to Jupiter would not be able to land on the surface. The futuristic spacecraft used on this mission would need to be in orbit or fly in Jupiter's thick atmosphere. Another scenario would be a mission to land on one of Jupiter's moons. However the trip itself could have some devastating effects on the crew. For one the trip will most likely take a couple of years just to get to the gas giant, the psychological effects of leaving your family behind for a long period of time (5 years or more) and not being able to distinguish planet Earth from the millions of stars in the sky could end in depression, mental problems, suicide... Second, Jupiter's magnetic field is incredibly strong, and could have grave consequences on the astronauts body. A trip to Jupiter in the future could be possible but many hurtles must first be cleared before we could embark on such a voyage.
Estimates vary. Several tens of billions at the most conservative. We do not have the technology at present for a manned mission to Mars.
