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.
No, satellites are not part of the solar system. Satellites are man-made objects that orbit planets or other celestial bodies within the solar system, such as Earth's Moon. The solar system consists of the Sun, the planets, their moons, and other smaller celestial objects like asteroids and comets.
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.
Yes, dwarf planets can have a variety of shapes besides being round. Factors like their size, composition, and unique geological history can influence their shape. Some dwarf planets may have irregular shapes due to impacts or gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.
No. Only the Earth can support human life. Our moon has been visited by man but it has none or a miniscule atmosphere. All of the other planets (and moons) are too hot or too cold to support mankind.
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.
No way in hell!! Jupiter was made just like all of the other planets in the solar system.
