How long it would take to get to Neptune from Earth would depend on the path chosen and on where Neptune and Earth were in their orbits when the mission was launched. For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched on Aug 20, 1977 and it reached Neptune on Aug 24, 1989. So, Voyager 2 took about twelve years to reach Neptune.
It would take about 12-13 years for a spacecraft to reach Neptune from Earth using current propulsion technology. The exact time would depend on the speed of the rocket and the alignment of the planets for a gravity-assist maneuver.

There have been no space shuttle landings on Neptune. It would be impossible to land on Neptune for two reasons: 1 - Neptune is a gas giant 2 - Neptune is freezing cold, electronic equipment would freeze and malfunction
i think you will not live until you reach the planet Neptune because you will be dead if you will reach. it imagine walking on a very long kilometer, you yourself do not want to walk in all at least just 2 kilometers. am i not right?

The planet Neptune has been explored by only one explorer, Voyager 2. Launch date - 20 August 1977 Reached Neptune - 25 August 1989

much of what is known about Neptune comes from the space probe Voyager II, which passed Neptune in 1989. Neptune was found to have two narrow rings and other fainter ones, as well as six moons. A year on Neptune is equal to almost 1656 Earth years. A Neptunian day is about 18 hours long.

As far as I know no one has ever even seriously proposed "sending people to Neptune", so that might be one.Neptune is very far away (by human standards). The only NASA mission which has gone "to" (actually, "very quickly past" would be more accurate) Neptune is Voyager 2, which took twelve years to get there. Voyager weighed about two tons; a spacecraft capable of sustaining human life long enough to reach Neptune (let alone get back) would be far, far more massive.

The time taken depends on the speed of the traveler. At the fastest speed possible, the speed of light, it would take about 5 minutes to get to Mercury at its closest approach. Neptune would take about 4 hours to reach. At more realistic speeds, like that of the Voyager 2 probe which now moves at a comparatively poky speed of 15km/sec, it takes years to get to the outer planets. The probe was launched in 1977 and reached Neptune in 1989.
just lon enough to get it through uranus :)
It takes about 12 years for a spacecraft to reach Neptune from Earth using current technology.
The closest distance of earth and neptune is 4.301 billion kilometers and the farthest distance of earth and neptune is 4.553 billion kilometers. So, the time to reach Neptune ranges from 8.602 hours to 9.106 hours.
