Is Uranus Bigger than Neptune?
The Radius from the Center of Neptune is 24,622 km, (15,299 mi) while it is 25,362 km, (15,759 mi) for Uranus. So Uranus is bigger than Neptune, but Neptune has a greater mass. In other words Neptune is smaller but denser.
Neptune has a radius of 3.88 Earth radii while Neptune has a radius of 4.01 Earth radii.
In terms of mass, Neptune is 17.15 Earth masses while Uranus has 14.536 Earth masses.
Can you get a rocket to a another planet?
Me? No. But NASA has done it. They have successfully landed several rockets on Mars. The have also sent satellites to nearly all the planets, even a few outside the solar system.
The best bet for getting a human to another planet in the near future (10-20 years) seems to be VASIMR.
A space probe that found several of Neptune's moons and Neptune itself. 1989 was the year they all of the satellites. Satellites: another name for moon. NOT A DISH!!

- Barnard's Star
- Andromeda
- Triangulum

What is the satellite name and date of the planet neptune?
list all human explorations from satellite probes to planet neptune with a satellite name and date
What is an object that is slightly smaller than Pluto and orbits the sun beyond Neptune's spherical?
Pluto's moon Charon is smaller than it. Since they both orbit round each other, one could argue that they both orbit the Sun as a bi-planetary system.

No. That would be Uranus.
What day is Neptune named after?
Neptune is not named after a day. It is named after the Roman god of the sea.

using a shuttle it would take ~11.25 years
How close can you get to planet Neptune?

.
Comment: You can get as close as you like, but you would need a very good spacecraft and it would take years to get there.

How long does it take to travel by car for 40 miles?
It takes 1 and a half hour if you drive at the speed of 100 km/hr or 60 miles/hr.
Has anyone ever landed or shot a robot on neptune?
No. The Voyager 2 space probe flew past Neptune, but nothing has ever entered its atmosphere. Neptune has not surface to land on.
