How long to drive from earth to neptune?

It will take about 17 to 20 years for a fast space shuttle to reach Neptune, assuming the shuttle can maintain enough fuel for the journey as well as enough food, water and oxygen for the astronauts.
So far, our space shuttles are only designed for earth or moon orbit. The current space shuttles of this day and age will not survive the journey beyond our own orbit. Only automatic probes have been sent further than our own orbit successfully.
In 1989 the rings of Neptune were thought to be what?
In 1989, the rings of Neptune were thought to be made up of primarily dust and debris, with some rocky material mixed in. The rings were not well understood until the Voyager 2 spacecraft provided more detailed observations later that year.
Neptune is not sandy. Neptune is one of the gas giants. This means that Neptune primarily consists of a gaseous atmosphere with no solid surface.
The outward expansion of the universe after the big bang and the expansion of space itself both tend to decrease the density of the universe as a whole (the ratio of matter to the space it's contained in). There also appear to be forces which tend to increase the rate of outward expansion of the universe, accelerating the universe's expansion.
The vacuum of space itself is not total; within the galaxy it is expected several atoms of hydrogen to be present in each cubic meter; in intergalactic space something around maybe a single atom on average per cubic meter.
What are other names for Neptune?
Other names for Neptune include the Roman god of the sea and the eighth planet from the sun in our solar system.

What is the frequency range of hearing for an eleven year old?
The range of human hearing includes frequencies from about 15 to about 18,000 cycles per second. This varies from one individual to another, especially at the higher frequencies. High frequencies usually become less audible with age.
Does the aether pervade space?
No, the aether does not pervade space. In deep space (intergalactic space) there is a near perfect vacuum. Perhaps only an atom or two of hydrogen float around here in a given volume of emptiness. And a bit of light will be passing through. There is also that pervasive bit of cosmic background microwave radiation. It's pretty much everywhere.
In ancient Greece, it was postulated that the aether was the stuff up above the clouds and the sky. Later on when early investigators were looking into what light was, it was suspected to be a wave of some kind. It was also assumed that it had to have a medium through which to travel. The aether was then called the luminiferous aether, and it was thought that through this light could move. But light doesn't need a medium to travel in. When that was finally discovered, the need for the aether vanished. It was as if it never existed.

What Uranus and Neptune don't have in common?
Uranus is tilted on its side, while Neptune rotates on a more typical axis. Uranus has a blue-green color due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere, while Neptune has a deep blue color from the absorption of red light by methane in its atmosphere. Additionally, Uranus has a more bland appearance with fewer visible features compared to Neptune's dynamic weather patterns and prominent dark spot known as the Great Dark Spot.
