Charon is a natural satellite (or moon) of Pluto. It was discovered back in 1978 by James W. Christy.
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
Yes, a rocket could theoretically reach Pluto, but it would require a significant amount of time and advanced propulsion technology due to the immense distance between Earth and Pluto. As of now, no spacecraft has been sent directly to Pluto, but the New Horizons mission flew by Pluto in 2015 after a journey of almost 10 years.
Yes. It was sent in 2006 and will get there in 2014.
Actually, no probes have ever been sent to Pluto. Even Voyager 1 and 2, which flew beyond the orbit of pluto in 1989, didn't do a fly-by of the planet (it was elsewhere in it's orbit at that time, and there were no plans to visit Pluto anyways).
For right now no. But the U.S has sent out a probe to get pictures from pluto
no it is not
They have they sent it in 2005 and they said it should reach pluto by 2015
New Horizons
yes
pluto.... it spins clockwise...
They have sent a prob thingie to take pics about pluto. They do that to a lot of planets.
Not really, calling it something different hasn't physically changed anything.
They sent the New Horizons spacecraft, with no humans on board.

Yes. Pluto is at the inner edge of the Kuiper belt, which contains millions of comets and a number of Pluto-like objects.
